You know those people who say they can eat one cookie, break off one piece of a chocolate bar and leave the rest for the next day and the next?
How do they do it?
I’m feeling a little whiny tonight. I’m not and never have been one of those people for whom a simple, small taste was enough. I always want more. Even though I can’t physically eat the way that I once did, my brain often wants to. That’s the strength of compulsion.
I want it to be easier, hence tonight’s mood. My inner-Mary is complaining like a young teen, screaming, “It’s not fair-er-er-er!”
You know what? It isn’t fair, but it is what is. All of the whining in the world doesn’t change the situation, nor does it lead to reality.
This is yet another example of the credo that acceptance is the answer to all problems. Time for me to stop complaining, work on my acceptance, and move on. One day at a time. I don’t have to like the situation, but I do need to accept it and act accordingly.
That is all.
I honestly have no idea how those people do it. :p
I have to get treats in small sizes, because I can’t eat just one piece of a chocolate bar and leave the rest for later.
