I have been struggling with what to write today...much like I struggled putting on socks this morning. After 4 days of bare toes, the temperature dipped a smidge. (My toes are revolting by constantly twitching.)
For me, however, those socks are a lot like the way I view how I eat. Sometimes, they feel warm and comfortable; other times they feel restrictive and claustrophobic. Sometimes they feel healthy and helpful; other times they feel distracting and challenging. But the truth is, I will always have to eat...and at some point, I will always need socks.
How do I change the lifelong mental habit of feeling like how I eat is "dieting" (focused on what I can't have and what is wrong with me)? How do I look at how I eat as a diet (a plethora of choices that are good for me)? How do I allow the feelings of a good fit to not morph into feelings of claustrophobia?
I don't know all the answers right now, and that is tough. I struggle with not knowing where I am going. What I do know, however, is that I am focusing today on what I can have...even while I'm wearing socks.
Don't even get me started on clothes. (Leggings are NOT pants!) :)
