Before You Take That First Compulsive Bite: Taking responsibility

Sunday 20 May 2012

Taking responsibility

To err is human; to blame it on the other guy is even more human.
--Bob Goddard

Life (ok my HP) certainly has a way of sending me messages, and this quote was in my inbox today.

Yesterday's Step 4 work showed me that I have not been taking responsibility for what's been happening at work, not seeing that I am part of the problem and not part of the solution.

But as Bob Goddard's quote says - that's okay that means I am human. But I don't have to stay stuck, I can learn the lessons, take responsibility and become part of the solution. The serenity prayer promises freedom in finding the 'courage to do the things I can'.

HP help me to find the courage I need at the moment, the courage to be the best I can at work, the courage to accept others and the courage to take responsibility for things in my life that I have been flakky around - especially my finances. With God's help I can be the person he intended me to be.

My abstinence

Three moderate meals a day, nothing in between except unsweetened coffee.

No Food with sugar as one of its first 4 ingredients including:
Biscuits
Cake
Chocolate
Sweets

Need to be mindful of eating food that can affect me, if I am not in a good space I need to be careful eating:
Bacon
Crisps
Dried fruit - apricots, prunes, sultanas
Fatty meat
Nuts
White bread

I need to keep my body healthy and happy. I can eat greens such as vegetables and salads, if eaten as part of a meal. Cooking myself healthy and tasty meals, meals that do not have to 'look' like I am on a diet, is an important part of loving self-care.
