Do you use food as a crutch?


I mean - emotionally, when you are feeling down, do you find something to "pick you up"?  A little snack?  


When you're watching a movie, do you automatically grab for that popcorn or chips or candy?


What about when you're emotional?  Does a pint of chocolate ice cream help to drown your sorrows?





You might not know that you use food as an emotional support - but here is one way that you can know.


<center>Take it away! hahahaa</center>





When you take it away, and then you have a difficult day?  and you go to reach for that snack and you CAN'T.  hehehe..





then....you might use food as a crutch! LOL




and it is VERY challenging to face those things without those crutches. but you CAN do it.  And.... sometimes these situations (like extended fasts) are a good way to actually INTENTIONALLY push yourself to a limit.





Today was hard.


<em>Really hard.</em>





Sometimes, it's just one of those days where you get hit on all sides. And you gotta step up to bat and swing.





So that's all my thoughts are on this day.


I stepped up to bat, swung, and... i'm still waiting on bringing the other three home with a grand slam. hehehe
