My New Year's resolution, which came easily to me on New Year's Eve, is to stay with myself and my feelings instead of going into food.
As things go, I had a hypoglycemic episode in the wee hours of January 1st. I headed to the refrigerator for orange juice, grabbed a couple spoonfuls of vanilla frosting (which I had not even noticed in the frig previously), then it was straight to the cookie jar. Oh my, those Christmas cookies and peppermint bark were delicious!! Even as I was aware of the voice saying "But what about your year without sugar?" Well, this was a bump on the path! I'm treating myself gently and kindly. After all, low blood sugars are a trigger any time, without the emotional stir and swirl of feelings on a family trip at the holidays.
I have to also say that popcorn has been a bit of an issue. I love it at the movies, and we have seen a few. Do I need to eat huge amounts though? Soon I will see a movie and observe this urge to eat tons of popcorn, an effective escape from . . . ?
