I have just had a revelation. I was wrangling with myself about what to do on my Birthday (details in my blog). I realise that I could receive the biggest besets present in the world, but given the choice my inner child would chose birthday cake, sweeties and crisps. I feel quite sad for my inner child that she doesn't think its a proper birthday without celebrating with sugar.
That she would give up all her presents to have a birthday cake,
That she feels like crying because she can't have the cake.
But I have just thought. I can have a cake, I can have my birthday but I will have diabetic chocolate or another bar and no sugar pop! I know, its off plan, but its not enough off plan to sabotage my journey.
Celebrations are about te people you share yr time with, it is also making sure other people are well fed (if they want to be!)
I can substitute for a day
I was just so struck by my inner voice being very sad at not eating cake. How did cake/chocolate ever get to be sooooo important to me, more important than, health, my figure, my happiness. Anything chocolate is my drug of choice
