It's been a tough week on a personal level and I did not rise to the challenge.
You employed a strategy Jen, that may not have been optimal - but you certainly rose to the challenge. There are times when we can, with steely determination, stare down our challenges, and times when we take a more circuitous route. Neither is either right, nor wrong - just different.
So, I was avoiding a certain type of pain, I ate a certain type of food to avoid it and in turn, created more of the same pain I was avoiding!
I've done that very thing. I have been distressed, and with absolute intention, tried to smother the anguish with heavy cooked carb-fuelled meals, only to have the "remedy" not work! So I have cried, eaten and then sobbed with twice the ferocity. It happens sometimes.
While I certainly do believe that what we eat can create emotions, I too believe that our perception is equally important. So that, if we judge what we have done as "bad" or "weak" or whatever, then the emotion itself will be weighted with this judgement.
We really must stop feeling guilty about slip-ups or having eaten something that is perhaps less optimal. It is so important to accept and love ourselves as human beings who may sometimes err, but are always (deep down) perfect in every respect.
p.s. Blame those pesky planetary shifts! Don't blame yourself.
