Day 167

I am almost halfway through this year. Unbelievable. Last night was successful. I woke up and ate a hard-boiled egg (free range chicken) with vegan mayo. And that was all!! I also had an insight about this middle-of-the-night eating behavior. As I try to reframe my actions, I see that it may be a protective behavior. Hundreds of times as a diabetic child, I woke up with a low blood sugar and staggered up the stairs to get orange juice. Now I am much closer to the kitchen, but still have hypoglycemic episodes that feel horrible and could literally lead to death. No wonder my body wants to do whatever it takes to avoid this suffering. And no wonder kindness and love toward myself is the only answer.
