Totally figured it out

I know why I have been acting so out of character this week. I read this and was enlightened: My Food Obsession. The moment I saw the word chocolate my mind said, "Aha! That's it!" I have been so irritable and so mood swingy. For one, Aunt Flow is visiting, but that is not the only reason. I have been having chocolate none stop for a few weeks. THAT right there is my problem. Chocolate: my favorite food, my go-to snack food (esp the last few weeks), my curse. Chocolate gives me headaches. Chocolate makes my stomach bloated. Chocolate gives me mood swings. It did not make sense to me until now. I have been giving into my food cravings to eat chocolate everyday in expense of my daughter and my family. How obvious this now seems, but how easy it was to ignore. Tomorrow will start my chocolate detox. Can I do it? I hope. I honestly don't know. This will probably be one of the most difficult things I have ever done. Yes, even harder than the half-marathon I did last year. I hope I can do it. For the relationship I have with my child, my husband, my mother and father, my siblings, I must. I hope that the Lord will give me strength as I strive to eat healthier this week (even though I am still at my parents), as I strive to not eat the chocolate that sits on my parents kitchen counter, so that I can be a less irritable, less mood swingy person. Wish me luck!

P.S. I hope you all have a wonderful Sabbath Day tomorrow as we go to our various destinations of worship where we will learn of our Savior and what we can do to follow Him, and repent/change to better ourselves. Happy Sunday!
