So, I've moved from lab rat to detective as I work to figure out what's going on with my overeating on the weekends. Last night again! And while I'm staying my course gluten, lactose & sugar aware, I'm eating beyond full & what's starting as mindful ends up mindless. Could it be the unsweetened carob I've switched to instead of dark chocolate? The carob coated rice cakes I bought at the health food store came with no nutritional info on them. Could they have been sweetened, even though similar ones I've found online are not? Could they be the sugar craving culprit? Or, was it finding myself home alone both Fri & Sun nights? Was there something else happening emotionally? Or, is it just such a long-standing habit that it's going to just take more time to re-learn?
For now, this sleuth will hit the books -- my mindful eating book & workbook, and review the eating cycle to see where I'm getting off track & what I can do to forge that new road in the mindful eating direction again. Each chapter included an awareness journal focusing on that chapter's material, so it may be a good idea to pull those out, find the most appropriate one & journal my way through.
Plus, this novice Sherlock can bring in the big guns -- in addition to all of you, I have appointments this afternoon with both my therapist & health coach. (I wanted to fit them both in before I head in to NYC on Thurs for the weekend to meet my girlfriends form Cincy.) That timing now seems especially helpful.
And, even though I'm later than usual, I have the biggest gun of all as I pray --
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
And through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, journal, log & express my way. I'm so very grateful for each of exceptional you, my family & IRL friends, having the support & tools to work through this latest bump in the road, brightening skies after unexpected snow this morning, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

I went to a bulk food place where they have "everything" and it's all labelled with nutrition. I was looking at the carob - thinking maybe to make some cookies. I can't remember what the nutrition label said, only that I thought, WOW, I will NEVER buy those. For all the hype you read about carob vs chocolate, I'll take the real thing any day. Who is to say, may be your problem. You will figure it out though, of that I'm sure, Sherlock!

You discovered your own problem - home alone on weekends and habits of a lifetime that need to be dumped. I live alone. I love to read, so I am never lonely. If I feel in need of company, I jump in my car and go to a friend's. Don't be afraid of being alone, however, you're just as good company to yourself as anyone else. I have a cat - maybe you need a dog or something? BIGGEST HELP: Find someone else in need of help and get up and go help them! The boost to all concerned's emotions are worth the effort. Keep at it - you won't fail. BE PATIENT.

Do you ever wish you could really see your stomach, your OWN stomach, doing that expand thing like the inflated balloon? I wonder about this sometimes as I feel 'wrong' IF I feel the food in my stomach. Is it mindfulness too far? It's one thing to stop eating when no longer hungry but those days when I'm trying to flush the weekends out of my system (as I too am doing today) I keep wondering if I've gotten off plan ~ esp w/drinking a liter of water instead of eating real food. IF'g instead of having breakfast even though I could probably have a breakfast for the calories I ingest in milk & coconut oil trying to bullet proof my morning. I think I'm lost some days and need to sherlock myself a bit too. I'm lost - I've been writing this comment for two hours and am off track as usual.

Weekends can be bad sometimes, more time, more get togethers with friends and family. Being aware is half the battle and you have a great plan. Hope you have a good day
