New phase and just the right words when you need them ?

New phase and just the right words when you need them ?

The cravings are gone. I transitioned from chardonnay to 3-4 cups of Constant Comment tea a night for a week or two and now to just water. I’ll have iced tea with dinner but feel no need for anything else. For a week or so, I picked over a 1/2 cup of raisins a night. Wine is from grapes, grapes make raisins, it all seemed logical. Try to eat a single raisin in 3 bites. When I served dinner last night I took another look at the amount of chicken and steamed potato my plate and removed 1/3 of the chicken and left about a 1/2 cup of steamed potato hogging almost all of the steamed broccoli. I felt very in control, but I fear my control issues are getting out of hand. I find that people are annoying me to no end. They are too slow, making mistakes, not returning phone calls soon enough, and not “doing it the way I would do it”. It’s not a few people, it’s all people, particularly people at Carr’s. I guess am getting a little edgy.

When I recognize my reactions, I felt awful, worse yet, I realized I’m turning into my “Mother”. As we were watching Biggest Looser and still agitated, Charlie looked at me and said, “Your looking good, I see a difference.” “Thank you Sweetie.” I’m all better nowJ!
