Melanie,
I know what you mean about the weather, rainy days make me very sluggish. I could sleep them away with no problem at all. When I'm tired I have a harder time resisting temptation.
I know I shouldn't but I think I would have a cup of coffee to help wake me up and find something [craft perhaps] to keep my hands busy. Listening to my fav cd would distract my mind, and could be done while my hands were busy. If all else failed a little exercise is always a last resort..lol I told you I'm a couch potato.
[but I do love weight training] A ride to the nearest department store for a walk indoors maybe?
Other distractions:
1] Curl up in bed with a good book
2] Write a short story for your children about someone overcoming a desire to do something they shouldn't
3] Pull out skinny clothes and see how many of them are almost within the realm of reality if you stick to your guns
4] Pull out pics of a skinnier time and compare them to your heaviest
5] Pray
6] Go out to your work shop and organize your stuff
7] Search the net for Haseldon inspiration stuff [this is a company who publishes books for OA and other 12 step groups] I'm sure there are more names but this is the only one I'm familiar with.
8] Take a long bath w/candles...the whole 9 yards, and give yourself a facial and paint every nail in site...lol
9] If you have dogs, give them baths [if you are like me they need it anyway...lol]
10] And throughout your whole day know that your friends here are thinking about you and sending you well wishes.
((((((((((((((((Melanie))))))))))))))))))
In case you don't know that is a cyber hug. The best thing about a cyber hug is that you get it over and over, every time you look at it!!
Good luck Melanie. I know you can do it, now just prove it to yourself!!!!
Later,
Renee'
