Backpedal

After some really good days, I had a minor incident. ;) I let myself run out of FFF's. I thought it would not matter. Oh my was I ever wrong! I went into panic mode, eating everything in sight. For 2 days.

Today I am off to buy Pringl*s, Hersh*y bars, and bread. Interestingly enough, I'm also going to get hot dogs. Not for me, but for my two kids. I have severely limited and tried control their intake of hot dogs for years now. So guess which food they absolutely obsess about?!?!? Yep. I figure if it works for me, it will work for them. I'm letting down my guard with them, in an attempt to stop them from having issues later. I thought I was doing that by controlling their intake, but seeing this process in myself, I'm having to backpedal.

The more I restrict, the more I/they want.

Duh.

It's common sense.

So we'll all be desensitizing ourselves here. They'll probably have hot dogs every meal till they accept they can have them anytime. I'll do the same with my foods.

In the end, we'll all be fine. I have no doubt about that. :)
