RE: Whole30 - Day 30 – All done.....sort of
Thanks honey. You're right. At least I know. Maybe the state of knowing is a process, like reaching spiritual enlightenment. I apparently need the periodic stumbles to gain strength and know at a deeper level. This morning, my family is having pastries from our little patisserie in town, and I was able to say 'no thank you' quite easily. Having the negative outcomes dead in my sites right now really helps.
Thanks for reading and for the encouragement!
It is that way with me and chocolate. I no longer crave the stuff because I have had such bad experiences. The good news is that I can very occasionally eat a teensy bit. (Not that I find it; but it finds me. Refer to your Eat Monkeys Eat post for the reason I consume chocolate at all when it has nearly killed me on multiple occasions!) The bad news is that “a teensy bit” is a moving target. For instance, yesterday the Girl Scout cookie sale occurred (aka chocolate apocalypse) and I had three thin mints in a momentary lapse of memory that—oh yeah! That shit is deadly to me!—and was thus up all night with the kind of excruciating acid reflux that makes death seem like a viable alternative. But I digress. Yay you got it figured out!! ❤️
