I really don’t have it all sorted out yet.
You know guys, they wouldn’t know a feeling if it bit them in the patoot.
I’m no different.
Most of my life, when I would be confronted with unhappy emotions, and not a few happy ones as well, it was cause for finding something to eat.
Why?
I don’t know,
Why is there only one company manufacturing the game Monopoly?
(Think about it, I'll wait.)
I just would end up eating with nary a thought of why. There were always emotional triggers I suppose. You know like, it’s Tuesday and we all know how emotional one can get on Tuesdays! Actually any day name ending in “Y” turned out to have a problem (or something good!)in it that seemingly could be solved (or celebrated) by eating.
Well not actually solved.
Nothing ever was solved by eating food, except legitimate hunger.
Eventually, it just became a way of life…(or death) depending on how you look at it.
If it was a good thing happening than it was “Let’s order a pizza!” If there was something bad going on then it was “Order the pizza with extra cheese!”
There may be enough food in the world to make me feel better, but I can’t eat it all!
So, I’m learning to work thru my emotions and not use food to mask the feelings…or whatever.
Actually I’m learning that I have to work thru my emotions without letting food be a part of the equation.
But I’m a guy.
What were we just talking about again??
My wife HATES that!
A bad habit developed over 50 years does not disappear overnight…
on the flip side, that is no reason to not attempt the change!
There are lots of fits and starts and screeching brakes plus a few more lurches forward followed by being stuck in reverse.
Then do it all over again.
I’m sure this will not be the last time I attempt a blog entry on this subject…but I’ll certainly need more time to unravel the mystery.
So once again, these are some of the heavy thoughts that move me toward lighter living.
