Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 Pam, You said " all I can think of is this STUPID sandwich sitting in the wastebasket. " You want to know why. The reason is we are Food-aholics. We love to eat--anytime, anyplace, and almost anything. But let me tell you a little story: It's 1986. I had been a smoker for 15 years. For the last 3 years, I'd been trying to quit. One day, determined to quit, I took an almost full carton and opened every package and broke *every* cigarette in half and threw them away. But--I saw one cigarette fall out of my hands (unbroken!) and go into the trash can. The little devil in my mind said to me " ...remember that's there! " . Well, the little angel in my mind said to me, " Oh, no you don't! " and I reached down and broke *the last whole cigarette* in half. THAT was when I quit smoking. That really happened and I have not had *anything* to smoke in over 15 years! (Patting myself on the back!) SMILE My point is that when we can *leave* the leftovers in the trash or on the plate, we are becoming a FREE person where food cannot control us. ~~ShirleyAnn Pre-op Dr. Welker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
