If there's one thing that's guaranteed to pee me off is when people say "every cloud has a silver lining" at a time when that's the last thing I want to hear!!
However.....it is such a true, true saying! Unfortunately, I've recently had a situation with an extremely good friend of mine which meant that the air had to be cleared and I think its kind of left both of us feeling a little uncomfortable and not quite sure of our next step. At first I felt quite bad about it and questioned both the history and the future of the friendship....BUT in actual fact even though the whole thing has bought some raw, and even dormant, emotions to the fore I've had no choice but to do deal with them and to challenge myself to deal with them without my old mate...comfort eating!
It has certainly been a challenge but I've done it and in doing so have renewed my faith in my ability, which is a pretty big deal to me and has had a pretty huge impact already.
Previously, I would have missed this lesson altogether as I would have been too busy beating myself up about having eaten, etc, etc. So when "stuff" happens, as it invariably will, I'm setting myself the challenge of dealing with it and then celebrating the lesson! I know it sounds weird but can you imagine being stuck in the crap and not realising that I've missed the opportunity to be a success story in the making!!!
