Yesterday was Day 5 with no booze. I was tested when we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant and my husband ordered me a margarita. It was tempting given I had just spent an hour and a half in stand still traffic, when the drive should have been 30 minutes tops. I declined and felt a sense of pride in my resolve. :) Just to give you an idea of what my alcohol consumption typically is, I usually have an average of two large glasses (see photo) of wine during the weekends and more on a typical weekend. I have gotten into the habit of refilling my glass before it was empty. I'm not sure what that was about (maybe so I couldn't count exact how much I'd had?). I wasn't even tasting the wine after a while. I found myself experiencing too many nights that I couldn't remember and regret for things I'd say, unbeknownst to me. Obviously, my relationship with alcohol is out of whack! I was using alcohol to self medicate for stress and pain, which are interrelated for me...
I've ordered my first Auto-Immune Paleo Survival Kit from @BarefootProvisions. Perfect for people, like me that travel a lot! http://barefootprovisions.com/products/the-paleo-mom-aip-survival-pack#.VRAyVmdFAcY
I listened to +George Bryant (author of the Civilized Caveman Cooking cookbook) and +Travis Richardson today and wow, am I blown away?!?! Such raw, honest, openness! Such a gift to all of us that have struggled with eating disorders. Thank you so much, George! My main take-aways were: Take the 7 day challenge to talk about a secret or fear openly with someone because what you focus on will keep showing up How you relate to food is how you relate to everything in this world and each meal gives us the opportunity to be your best self. It's a good thing we eat several times a day! I encourage everyone to take part in the #BodyBlackBeltSummit hosted by Travis Richardson! Way more than I had imagined it would be so far. #hugsnbacon #paleofx
