Les Girth's Journal, 03 Feb 21

Our food pantry is very well designed and located just off the kitchen for easy access. This is where Mrs. Girth, who has never had a weight problem, keeps her stash of chips, nuts, candy and sodas. With all of these goodies on hand, I live with constant temptation. I know that it's up to me to stay away from them. Most days I do a good job, but on occasion I flub it. Sometimes my diversions are planned and sometimes it's just me being weak and impulsive. Whatever the reason, I've learned to avoid being angry with myself. Instead, I focus on getting back to my goals. I'm posting today as a gentle reminder that when you slip up, remember to forgive yourself, refocus on your goals and then move forward.

I'm with you on the pantry. We have 5 kids and lots of goodie snacks for them so it is easy to hide my "raids." Thank you for your honesty, and your advice. Good to see I'm not the only one who is sometimes deliberate sometimes just weak and impulsive. I agree that forgiving yourself is so important, and not letting the past determine the future. Thank you for sharing. Keep it up!

Excellent advice, Les 🌺. Just saying the words “I Forgive Myself” is an emotional release!

I live with my two young adult kids who are always bringing the yummies home and I find them on the table when I walk into the room. At some point you deaden yourself to desire them but other times they catch you off guard and walk away power has to kick in. I feel ya
