It's 4:23pm. It's not dinner time, but I wish it was. I had lunch at about 12:30 this afternoon, and as soon as I finished I started thinking about dinner. I watched an episode of "Frasier" this afternoon and I had such an intense urge to get a snack. Old habits certainly do die hard. I used to graze throughout the entirety of the day, and I would snack mindlessly in front of the television or computer.
When I wrote my first entry of the day this morning I had mentioned Halloween candy in my pantry. I'm not sure if I jinxed myself, but I definitely want it. I can say confidently that I'm not going to take even one bite. However, thinking about it is definitely mentally exhausting. Because of the food that's in the pantry I can't concentrate on my homework.
Here are a few things I'm going to try to take my mind off the food: 1) paint my nails a festive gold, 2) read An Abundance of Katherines by John Green (it was due Tuesday...oops), 3) watch another episode of "Frasier" (maybe), 4) make a phone call to another FA member (this one is the hardest). It's during times like these that my iPhone feels like it weighs eight-hundred pounds. Making a phone call is one of the "tools of recovery." FA members pick up the phone in times of stress and "before we take the bite." Hopefully someone will answer.
