Lunch: Corn
Dinner: Cottage cheese, seedy rice crackers
Snack: 8 ounces of canned pineapple in juice, 3 snack-sized packages of dried cranberries...oh, the shame
Snack: Cottage cheese...and hide the crackers!!
So, anyway, I bought these crackers because they had few ingredients, brown rice flour and a whole bunch of seeds. I thought that I could eat something healthy and if they were terrible, so much the better. Not that I wanted terrible tasting crackers, but it would be at least one thing that was reasonable in my cabinet. Unfortunately, they are really delicious. I was using the quiet around here today to catch up on refining some resources for my clients. By the time I got around to the crackers, I was deep into some complicated stuff and before I knew it, the cheese was gone and I had been dipping my hand into the cracker bag and had eaten lots. Too many, but at least they are healthy, yes?
The second snack is not yet eaten, but that might happen any minute now.
Yesterday's SAD is over it seems. I am back to what passes for normal here, eating wise, and it feels much better. I intentionally ate much less today. Yeah, I know that you cannot make up for overeating like that, just like you cannot really catch up on missed sleep, but it made me feel a bit more virtuous or something. You know, this whole eating issue is such a burden for me. I have a freaking lifetime of neglect, lack of resources, guilt and shame to last a dozen lifetimes.
All I want is to come to some reasonableness, some measure of comfort, a ceasefire, if you will, before I die, which if I am unable to accomplish this might be much sooner than I want. It is O.K. to not want to die too soon, yes? To not lose any toes to diabetes or go blind or have a stroke, yes? Yes. But, if I continue to be unable to find the courage, some responsibility or strength of character to care enough about myself so that I can embrace health and all of the work that it requires, then I am going to die in the near-ish future, or wish that I would. I can do this crap for other people, why is it so difficult to do it for myself? Whatever.
