Well, I've been having a hard time not falling into old habits. So last night while I lay in bed NOT sleeping (another sign I'm heading downhill), I tried to figure out what had me so uptight. And I realized that it was the simplest thing. I've been crocheting hats (you can see an example in the above pic) so I can sell them at the Curves fundraiser fun fair benefitting our Relay for Life team. I'm going to have a "booth" that I paid for and I'm selling something I made. Now it might not seem like a big deal and it really isn't in the grand scheme of things, but I realized that this was way out of my comfort zone! I worry that, because I'm a novice crocheter, the hats are going to magically fall apart and not meet people's standards. I'm also placing a flyer and more of my business cards directing people to this blog to follow my progress as well as sell some of the Curves books that I've been using. So again, kind of putting myself out there. So last night I worked out why I was turning more and more to food. I'm proud of myself in that I recognized that there was a problem before it got out of hand and now that I know why I'm feeling uptight, I can work through that in a more healthy way. It's not a bad thing to put yourself out there...it just takes getting used to and you can't get used to it if you don't do it. I am not going to stress about the fun fair anymore, I'm going to focus on having a fun day meeting new people who can help me on my journey and hopefully I can help them as well. Besides, it's for a good cause. :o)
