Day 4

First of all...thank everyone for your support it is really keeping me on track knowing that there are so many of you who truly care!

Second, the parent concern was really nothing.  I knew it would be nothing, but when a parent calls you always have to think back to every thing said and done in the last few weeks...self doubt is a horrible feeling!  Anyway, everything is fine, but I still wish that every once in awhile a few parents would call and say what a great job you are doing. Just saying...

Third, I am sick today...fever cough, sore throat.  I am sure you won't mind if I keep this short and sweet:)

Being sick brings to mind that I love comfort foods...and almost all foods comfort me...LOL!  It will be most difficult for me when I need that comfort food not to reach for it.  Like when I am calm I go for popcorn, feeling blue reeses peanut butter cups, romantic Chinese food, tropical Mexican, lonely chips...you get the idea!

Anything I do is brought together with food...the kids are...coming get snacks, going to a friends...whats for dinner, football, baseball any sport...all about the snacks and if going to game all about the tailgating...

I need to learn that food is not why I need friends or like sports.  Food neither makes my mood or feeds my moods.  Food is something I need to live!  I don't need a 1 pound steak to stay a live...it is a new way of thinking and habits die hard:)
