I was listening to Dr. Laura a few days ago when a distraught caller was frustrated by the lack of control she had over her life. If she started a new diet she did great for two days and then she would go off of it. The same thing happened with exercise or getting up early, etc. She felt those things were proof that she could not control anything in her life.

Dr. Laura responded by saying that the woman did in fact have control over all of those things. She decided to start a new diet and two days later she decided to go off of it. How true that is!!! I need to remember that when I'm feeling like I am lacking self control. Every day I do exactly what I decide to do, good or bad!

Habits make those decisions easier but even without habits we get to choose each and every action we make.

June Habit: Meal Plans Again!

I am finally feeling up to some new habits but I know I need to revisit some old habits first. This month it will be meal plans again. It's been weeks since I have taken any responsibility for meals and I know my family is sick of it. It's actually making me sick too because of all the crap we've been eating. We were on such a healthy food binge for a while there and I want to get back to that.

In addition to meals I am trying to get the house back in some kind of order. We're doing a little bit every day. Would you believe me if I said I still haven't unpacked my suitcase that I took to the hospital when I had Sweetness two weeks ago? You know it! Maybe that will be my project for tomorrow. Unless I get distracted by a bag of chocolate chips and spend all morning making cookies instead.

Have a great week!
