It's no secret, I often use the pressure of Lent to give up food things or try to be healthier. I believe that this is ok and I give myself permission to do so, knowing that a healthier me is a better me and that the spirit of Lent is represented in my struggle.
This year, my goal is to be more mindful of why I'm eating. Working from home, I have a whole kitchen at my disposal all. the. time. It's not like I can only bring my breakfast & lunch and I'm out of food. Well, I suppose I could if I locked myself in my extra bedroom/office. But that would mean that Pete would have to lock me inside from the outside. And that would be weird because I'd have no potty. I digress...
I created a little note in my phone, titled...Lent. (original!) My plan is that aside from meals, if I'm going to eat a 'snack', I need to log the time and what I'm feeling and if I still choose to snack. I need to be more mindful about what I'm snacking on and my feelings at the time. Snacking has been an issue for me in the past and continues to be. This strategy really helped me in the days leading up to surgery and after surgery.
It's the little things. The little things that add up to big things. Big changes and goals and dreams.
