What is your commitment to yourself?
Well, now. Having re-discovered the importance of making such things to myself, I will share my commitment to myself. I had made one, then lost track of it. It is clearly important to make commitments and then re-define them from time to time. When I started TSP after Easter I did so great for a month. Then I began treating myself to sugar treats again. Now I turn to such treats too often and feel bad about myself. I selfishly want to feel good about myself.
My new commitment to myself is to stick to the program in this way right now: No sugar except on holiday's so I can enjoy a slice of cake with my kids on their birthday's, etc. No more SomerSweet desserts except once a week, and in emergencies. Whole grain bread and pasta is OK. One SomerSweetened decaf mocha each morning is OK. Occasional white rice with dinner is OK if it is what my family is having and I am too tired to fix something else. (Young kids eat soo much white food).
This is where I am at right now and I am making the commitment to myself to stick with it. By the way, an emergency means when I am feeling the strong need, or powerless even, to avoid eating sweets or binging on something. I'd rather do it with a low carb, low sugar dessert like SomerSweet ice cream (that I will make and store in the freezer), than to eat Ben and Jerry's. (Like I did last night, and several other times recently).
My main focus is on good old sugar, which is really not good to me at all. Right? Right.
What a challenge getting off that stuff.
