Fresh Start

It has been a hell of a week. Since I've decided to only blog on the weekends, I have to catch all my blogging peeps up to speed. I am going to rant a little and bring the blog in for a food landing. On Monday,I was furious,frustrated and feed-up you may ask what happen to bring out all the (f) bombs. Well I have no problem telling the story again. It was a typical Monday morning my trash day. I took all my trash out and placed it by the sidewalk as I normally would and went to my appointment. When I returned home within hours that very same morning I saw out the corner of my eye trash by a tree near my door. I knew for sure it was not my trash, it belonged to someone else.

WHAT THE HECK?

Confused by the lack of respect and ignorance, dropping their trash off in front of my door, and not even at a trash pickup spot which clearly I would have understood but no it was in the wrong spot at the wrong time and I was left not only to clean it up but I had to move it to the appropriated spot, someone else's trash. It was overwhelming because it was not just one bag of trash it was six bags of their nasty trash. Just think this was just Monday, well on Tuesday it got worst I cried all day about Monday and other issues that weighed me down. On Wednesday, I cried some more all the while hoping and wishing that the food urges I was having would go away. I was like a food fend needing a taste of sugar and lots of it too. I didn't shake or shiver but the urges were dreadful at times so much so that by Thursday I was ready to give in and I almost did I went into the store purchase enough snacks to feed about two people. I placed all the snacks on my counter top then the phone rang which distracted me. By the time I got off the phone it was to late and I was to tired to even think of a snacking so I ended the night with a shower, and I snuggled into bed.

This morning I woke with one thing in mind stay positive, laugh often and smile alot. Still had problems and issues that people face everyday but it was not as bad as Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. When dealing with problems and issues measuring out food and eating healthy is the last thing on my mind. Up until my fresh start eight days ago food was my companion and my silent friend. I could have broken down and went right back into my old habits and who knows it can still happen in the weeks to come but for now it is Friday night and all the snacks are in the trash and I am at peace with food. Yesterday is past, today is almost over and tomorrow will just have to wait.
