Tonight, i am hosting a little ladies get-together! Instead Of letting my friends buy And bring junk, i am asking for their help by bringing fruit for dessert And things Like that. Most women are satisfied by a light meal And Good company, in my experience.
Of course, this Is Just a small example Of sonething that helps me stay on course And provider opportunities to talk about dietong. Women are always looking for excuses to talk about it anyways, And not always in a positive fashion. Most Of The time i Hear: in really off my diet now!! Or something along those lines.
Helping others to become insoired by dieting And eating healthy Is a great feeling!! I love how when i help myself by doing sonething Like this, i also end up Helping others. That sounds Like one definition Of love... And we all know:
love makes The world go round!
Take these Flowers that my Husband sent me The day he left for a yurt trip: sometimes he remembers to do things Like this, And sometimes a hint or suggestion that i'd prefer roses rather than chocolate boxes for valentine's day, say, Is all he needs. In The end, this Is another form Of asking for help.
So often we play The victim in dieting: "how could i not eat The special cookies she only makes once a year?" How about in the same way you aren't going to hook up with a celebrity the one time you meet him without your husband around: because it's cheating! Don't cheat on yourself or anybody.
Get real about asking for the help you need, turn away from the cookies just like you'd turn down another man's advances. Stay true to yourself by learning from your mistakes, forgiving yourself and getting smarter about what to ask for next time.
You may not always get the help you ask for, so be ready to buy your own flowers, or leave the party early if someone keeps pushing cookies under your nose and driving you crazy!! At the end of the day, you are in control of what goes in and out of your mouth. Now ask for the good stuff!
