I have read lots of inspiring stuff over the weekend to get back on track - blogs, inspirational quotes, inspirational books (Michelle Bridges particularly!), Runners World magazine etc etc.
I have also talked to my husband about my inability to control my eating and why I do it, because it really is stupid. He suggested I purchase the book - The Happiness Trap. I bought it yesterday and intend to read it from tonight - will blog my findings.
I am also wearing a red rubber band on my wrist (another husband idea!). Each time I contemplate eating something I don't need or really shouldn't eat , I pull it back as a reminder to be mindful. Don't judge me, I am willing to try anything at this stage!
The day has started off well (I know it is only 10am!) I am determined. I CAN DO THIS!

Good luck!! I have heard great things about "The Happiness Trap" and have been meaning to buy it for a couple of years now lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Whirlsie! I too have been meaning to buy it for a while. The problem for me is I read at night before I go to sleep, usually something mindless. So the prospect of reading something about being mindful at that time may be a challenge!!
Deletemindfulness, which is the basis of 'the happiness trap' is so useful in accepting stuff in our life and in our mind but not necessarily buying in on it - so go for it! I think you will find it really useful - i have done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janie D. I am looking forward to reading it!
