<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last night I wanted to eat a bunch of ice cream. I wanted to binge, to
\ntell you the truth. I wanted to feed my boredom and my old sugar habit.
\nI had thought about it over and over again, and finally decided to do
\nit. “Just this once,” I mentally said to myself. “It isn’t a big issue.
\nSo what if I have a few bowls of ice cream? It will really taste good
\nand satisfy me.”<\/p>\n
The only trouble was, there was another side to my
\nthinking. That part of me (which I was trying to shove under the rug)
\nwas saying “Oh, no, not again. That must be the Old Habit talking. Do
\nthis often, and I’ll get fat again. Please don’t do it.”
\nI was in a bind. So I put my knowledge and tools into motion. <\/p>\n
This is
\nwhat I did…
\n1 – Realized that I was in trouble.
\n2 – Asked God for help.
\n3 – Talked about what was happening to me internally with someone (my
\nwife).
\n4 – Gave myself time. 5 – Did anything possible except have the ice
\ncream. (We took a bubble bath together, which ended up being far better
\nthan ice cream. I felt great, and even greater for not having the ice
\ncream.) <\/p>\n
Save these emergency steps. Print them and post them on your refrigerator.<\/p>\n
Please post some ideas you have to share about what to do if you’re tempted. Thanks! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
