For almost four years, all went well with my food program...then, like a bandit, challenges swooped in as I began to condone "sloppy" eating like larger portion sizes and random eating in-between meals. God, my superhero, came to my rescue; bringing information I needed to hear...that I needed to consider having a food sponsor...an accountability partner with my food. Once upon a time I recoiled from this very thought, "Why do I need some food hitler to tell me what to eat!!" is what I used to think...(I see anxiety around authority figure abusing power or weakness; a valid threat when I was a child, but no longer...I can set healthy boundary today).
Well, I've had a food sponsor for a few weeks now and it's been marvelous. I keep track of my food throughout the day on my iPhone and then I email the roster to him at night. There were times when I thought of popping a random piece of food in my mouth in-between meals, but thought, "oh, I'd have to record that" and then I chose not to...it is helping me to become more aware than ever of what I place in my mouth. And the support from another caring person is magnificent!
What support do you need? Are you willing to give yourself this gift...
