Day 32: Guidelines

"Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines." ~Robert Schuller

If you read yesterday's blog you know that we are having a question of the week (day or moment depending on my mood...LOL). The group question for this week is: "Have you given up a certain food or beverage? How is that going for you? How do you feel about giving that thing up?"

I have been doing terrible about giving up drinking soda. I drank three cans again last night. It seems like the more I think about NOT drinking it, the more I crave it. It is an age old problem with me.

I just have to realize that getting down on myself about it will not solve the problem. Not for me anyway. It merely increases my thinking about it.

Today, I craved a soda and I bought one. I drank it, too. I didn't feel overly guilty about it, although I didn't feel great about it either. I am not sure how I should feel about giving in to this temptation.

I hope you are having a better time standing up to your temptations than I am today.

It is beautiful outside. Perfect day for a walk! I may even consider taking one!
