Here I Go Again on my Owwwwn (except not on my own)

So this:
...spawned 30 more days of giving stuff up. This time, I'm the charity. Clearly, some of the lessons I learned during GULP did not stick. I think I expected this to happen, but not to the extent of the above video. Clearly I have not overcome emotional eating. I know the answer is not to go 30 days binging, 30 days off...but for now this is what I've decided to do. GULP provided more clarity, and surprisingly, more spirituality than I've ever had and I think part of me just wants a little of it back. I know I have to figure out a way to practice moderation eventually, but in the meantime I'm just gonna go with the abstinence route. It's kind of the easy (but hard) way out.

Good news is, I am not doing it alone. My sis is back at it, and I've also recruited some more friends/family to do their own modified versions. I'm on Day 4 so far, and all is well. I don't miss the alcohol and I've actually eaten some really tasty home-cooked/prepared meals.

I don't think I'm going to be blogging every day, but I'll check in periodically to let you know what's cracking. Wish me luck!
