Sometimes, it is hard for me to know the next right thing and that is when I ask for help from my fellow loopies and other program friends. Most of the time, I know what to do though. My intuition, or HP, is calling me to do it. This doesn't mean that I always do, but it is there and I cannot ignore that I usually have the answers. What I choose to do with them is another story.
We took Piper and Trey out to dinner tonight for Piper's birthday tomorrow. This is scary for me as a COE because any event centered around a meal is a big trigger to eat, eat, eat! I went there and I did that next right thing. It was amazing! I ordered my nice, abstinent meal (it was a bit larger than it should have been but I allowed it because of my pregnancy and the time of day was between lunch, which I missed and dinner). We were going to allow the children to have dessert and chose not to because we knew it would be a trigger for both of us (Bryan is also trying to follow some sort of a food plan). So I listened to that little voice and I made it through what could have been a very tough situation and I am stronger for it.
