CONFRONTING WEAKNESSES

I’ll be the first to admit that I have a host of food weaknesses…let’s go down the list:

•Soft Chewy Candy (Taffy, gummy bears, any kind that sticks in your teeth and cause rapid onset of root canals)
•Italian Ice & Ice Cream….the classic Gelati
•Dessert Mints
•Custom made ice cream
•Boneless Buffalo Wings with Blue Cheese (the creamiest and chunkiest)
•Cakes with creamy icing
•Cotton Candy
•Cheese Puffs
•Potato Chips and creamy ranch dips
•Wow- I clearly have an unspoken issue with “creamy”

However, I’m confronting my issues because I know that these are my weakness zones and these are the areas that need moderation. So, for instance, with potato chips, I read the serving size on the back, try my hardest to only eat one serving, and I pull that serving out of the bag. Now, if I try to eat from the bag, I’ll look up and realize that I have eaten half a bag of chips. One of my friends told me that she does not buy that kind of stuff (junk food) during her regular grocery shopping and if she wants it, she’ll have to go purchase it separately…God bless her will & her gas tank BUT, you have to do what works for you. If willpower is an issue...ADJUST.

Confront your weaknesses, just as you would when dealing with emotional deficits – admit that something is just a little off, and move forward with an intent to make some correction.
