I feel so bad about your fall and smashing your favorite mug. Thank goodness you were not hurt worse. The super blue blood moon (just fun saying it) was amazing. The fog lifted just long enough for a viewing window here in Sacramento. I never tire of these celestial events. We traveled to Silverton Oregon last August for the total eclipse of the sun. Hands down that was the single most amazing event I have ever witnessed. It was spiritual and emotional. I will be chasing the next total eclipse April 8, 2024 to Texas.
I have to hand it to you and anyone else that follows this healthy eating life style, while a non-compliant significant other shares cupboard space with all their tantalizing goodies. I couldn't do it. I would obsess on the food. It would be on my mind all the time. When we ate SAD, my husband, who is not a food addict at all, would buy a quart of ice cream AND NOT EAT IT. He just liked to have the option to eat it.
I would think about that ice cream night and day. It wouldn’t even be a flavor I liked! Slowly, I would sneak a bite here, a bite there. He never knew, until the last bite was gone and I had to throw away the empty container. Then he would ask where his ice cream was? He just liked having it in the freezer.
How can I get to that mentality? How can I not obsess on food? My only success is to keep it out of my house. And I thank my husband daily that he chooses to follow this lifestyle with me. Seriously, I could feed him kibble and he’d be okay. Food does not excite him. It just fills the hole in his gut. For me? I get up in the morning and get happy if I know I have an especially fun food day planned. Is that pathetic?
Fortunately, I have found that my fun foods now are crispy air fried potatoes and stir-fried vegetables over brown basmati rice slathered in sriracha and a couple of raw cashews sprinkled on the top. But, it took getting all the other stuff out of the house before I could find my new obsessions.
So kudos to you for sticking with it, especially with all the temptations around you. I applaud your efforts and certainly understand your transgressions.
Have a great day!
