Accountability post: Garlic Bread Weekend

I have always loved garlic. I use it in a lot of cooking ill even eat it raw. Lol for some reason this weekend has been a garlic bread weekend. It goes without saying bread is not part of my normal plan. Put garlic on it and I think I have a trigger food.

The planets aligned, the wind swept in, the earth shuddered and I've had two days of garlic bread. You might even call it a homage to garlic bread festival. So this is an accountability post. For whatever reason I needed it this weekend. So sad there is no more garlic bread. My sweet puppies finished the remainder. Side the experience to examine why I liked it what was attracting me to it and how did it make me feel.

At some point I realized it was not the food, but the feeling of eating I liked. It became very mechanical. I admitted I had had enough and needed no more at this time. I will ask my DW not to prepare any more (it was not my doing lol) and if we do have some around I will avoid it as a trigger food.

So what is next you might ask? Back to plan the best I know how. My regular weekend activity and protein first meals. This one act does not define where my journey is headed.

I use to love garlic bread but do not eat it any more.  It is a trigger food for me.  Last night I made Rotel Mac and Cheese with garlic bread for my vegetatarian son.  I ate a small portion of the mac and cheese and some green beans but passed the bread by.  I did treat myself to one no no this weekend.  Went to a open town festival where all the stores were open on Sunday with door prizes and gobs of snacks and desserts.  My treat was a 1 inch x 1 inch piece of cheesecake that was awesome.  I felt pretty good after 3 hours of shopping and that was my only splurge.  I read an article on Saturday about picking your treat.  It said not to eat something else trying to avoid it only to cave later and eat it any way.  I bypassed all the cookies, pecan tartlet*****h, chip and dips just so I could enjoy this small treat.  I felt like a winner when I got home.  You are so right when you said that this one act does not define where my journey is headed.  But, it does let me know that I am in control of my actions.
