Indulging without food

[Guest guest]

Grr. Along the lines of the times we find ourselves frustrated at how little

food it takes to satisfy, well right now, I'm wanting to indulge myself and

having trouble doing it. Once upon a time, I'd make a cup of tea (or perhaps

the apple cider that's in the fridge,) settle down with a cookie, or a piece of

chocolate, the tv, computer, book, all three, and just be. I mean, the kids

are in bed. The house is semi-clean, the husband is working tonight, I

exercised already, I mean come on. The problem. I don't want to. Well, I do

or I wouldn't be typing, but I mean. I've already exercised, frankly, I over

ate a bit at dinner (fundraiser,) and so I'm not inclined to really want more to

eat, I don't and do want to exercise again, but I don't want to overdo that

either, and it is past 8, and since I'd like to go to bed earlier than usual,

perhaps that's not a good idea. But I don't really know what to let myself do

as a treat if it doesn't involve food in some form. I had a bath last night,

and I showered after my workout, so that feels more wasteful than indulgent.

Well, I don't expect any answers, needed to get it out though, perhaps work it

out in my head as I did. I will probably have that cuppa tea. I often do at

night. Toss the dogs outside earlier than normal and snuggle up in bed. We

just put a tv in there a few months ago and that still feels sinful to watch tv

in bed, so perhaps that will work.

Hope all are doing well, Dawn
