It would be easy to quit

I am noticing that it would be easy to just eat a plate of rice tonight. After all, what would a plate of rice hurt, huh? Well, that is the thinking that totally throws me off, and the effects of that one decision will last a long time.

For instance, on Thanksgiving of 2007 I said to myself: "I am going to allow myself the permission to gorge, because its just one day."

Over a year later, I am still regretting that decision, because I am a compulsive eater. I am an addictive eater. If I eat just one thing, it will start a chain reaction that will be the end of it for me.

I am also a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, clean and sober for over 20 years, and I know that it just takes one time do end it.

No.

No rice for me tonight. I will eat soup tonight, and I will stay on this fantastic path of health, clarity, vitality, and joy!
