As I was heading home for lunch yesterday, I thought to myself, "I really want a Coke." But when I stopped to think about it, I realized that I didn't. My allergies are in full swing and it would make my throat hurt more, not to mention derailing my other goals.
But it did get me thinking as I drove home. I've gotten into a bad habit of thinking of food as treats, rewards, incentive and consolation. That's not really a great place to be, because I can always justify having something that isn't good for me.
I don't want to stop enjoying food! But I need to start thinking of it more as fuel and perhaps, as medicine of a sort. I am very slowly noticing that while my brain stills wants carbs, my body is starting to assert itself more and say, "no thanks." That's gotta be a good sign, right?
I do want a smoothie though! I think I need to start saving for a Vitamix. :) And possibly take the current blender in for an overhaul.
