I love the idea of "betterments" because in line with what you discussed, if you nurture yourself last, then food is such an easy way to comfort yourself, at least for me. I end up telling myself, "I've had a rough day, I DESERVE THIS (insert whatever bad food choice here)" Our society also makes it so easy to eat poorly and it is a much cheaper form of faux fulfillment than many other "rewards" I'm thinking about this in the new year as well. Just today I was running a lot of tedious errands that had emotional implications to them and as I went through the Starbucks drive-thru, I immediately thought, GET THE LATTE. You deserve it TODAY! But i passed today, and just got skinny old coffee.but boy i wanted that caramel latte soooo bad. still do.<br /><br />You're not alone!Barbara Bechtelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245733527571208892noreply@blogger.com
