I had a little meltdown today. Just a little one. Too much to do all at once, and it really got to me...
That was precisely the situation in which I would have reached for something sweet, because, you know, I deserved it! It helped me to calm down after some intense drama.
Today, I'm happy to say, was different. I released some tears, I took a deep breath or two, and then I sat down and thought about how it would look to calm down without the sweet stuff!
I decided, intentionally, to have a cup of Dandy Blend. I had it in my mom's mug, which made me feel close to her, which was comforting. I sat down, felt the warmth of the mug in my hands, and savored the hot drink.
After that, I was able to get on with my day.
Nick made Potato Waffles for me today! I've wanted to try them for a while now. What a fun food.
I also cooked up a huge pot of Butternut Squash and Quinoa Chili (from Healthy Girl's Kitchen) in the Instant Pot. Delicious and warming!
