Getting control over food-Preparing our minds
During the next 30-60 days we will be experiencing head-withdrawal from the control that food, especially junk food (for me, spelled S-U-G-A-R), has had over us. For most of us, this is going to be really tough and we may grieve the loss of "our best friend". Today on the way to work I heard the 90's song "You just Keep me Hanging on".
I think when I crave junk food, I will try to walk or exercise to this song and throw it into the face of this "friend" that has betrayed me! Listen to the lyrics:
Set me free, why don't you babe
Get out my life
Why don't you babe
Cos you really don't want me
You just keep me hanging on
No you really don't need me
You just keep me hanging on
Why do you keep coming around
Playing with my heart
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a new start
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me, yeah
Set me free why don't you babe
Get out my life
Why don't you babe
Cos you really don't want me
You just keep me hanging on
No you really don't need me
You just keep me hanging on
You said although we broke up
We could still be friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
There aint nothing I can do about it
You know I need love
(Set me free why don't you babe)
Talking bout love
(Get out my life why don't you babe)
Cos you really don't want me
You just keep me hanging on
It just said something to me...maybe it will to you...

It's got a good beat, and now we'll be able to dance to it!
But, for those times when we just can't exercise, or have already done our excercise and still want our old friend... We need to come up with a plan for something to DO other than mourn that Reese's peanut butter cup.
My plans:
I'm going to learn to play the harp.
Painting - crafty type stuff.
Play my guitar more.
Learn another language - like French or Latin!

Any other ideas?
Hey Joy,
I think you've just selected the Offishal Marcher's Theme Song. When we all get together a year from now we will all have to get out on the floor and dance to this one!!!
Great Choice!!!
Happy thoughts,
Va
