I had no idea how emotionally taxing facing my addictions would be! Day one---COKE FREE!!!! I have noticed a few physiological changes today interestingly enough. I have been extremely sensitive and jumpy today........even had a good cry that came out of nowhere earlier this evening, and I am so very tired. I don't imagine my body knows how to behave without all the sugar and caffeine. How long does it take to create a new habit?! I feel strong and I know that I can do this! I went to Oak Harbor to pick up prescriptions this morning and though the temptation was strong, I resisted! I have been drinking water all day with the exception of some orange juice this morning. The Coca-Cola Company really knows how to market their product. As I was walking through the store, I saw the cutest little round, bulb shaped bottles of Coke all adorned in Christmas packaging. I did pick one up and marvel at how lovely the little round shape fit in my hands. I thought the girls would have enjoyed the novelty of a round coke bottle too but, I did not give in! Woo hoo!
It was a crisp, cool, gray kind of day today and I am sad that I did not purposefully go for a walk and revel in this beauty that we are surrounded by. I did however, play "car lot" and a few games of basketball with some very energetic kids at the Boys and Girls Club. I can only imagine the joy that I will feel when my body will be able to do the things that I ask of it again. Jumping if I feel like it or skipping down the street without having to hold various body parts down will be pure bliss! (I am laughing at the mere visual of that scene!)
It was a good day.....I am still learning....still growing and becoming what I am to be.
With Love and Hugs,
