Happy Day After Mileygate!

Yoooooo. Miley Cyrus. VMA's. That girl is legit cray cray. I didn't mind. Honestly? I kinda loved it. And the more hate I read all up in my facebook page from my 'friends' the more I love it. She got exactly what she wanted. Good for her. Y'all are slut shaming. It wasn't that bad. I too wish she had danced instead of humping a foam finger but it's nothing scandalous. I'm more surprised at the backlash. I don't know why, but I found the whole thing funny. She's not a hardcore drug addict. She doesn't appear to have any mental issues. She's just a young girl on a big stage with everybody watching except the people that maybe should be. That's speculation but come on, give her a break. Stop hating. To quote Miley herself "Forget the haters, cuz somebody loves ya."



Okay so back to food and stuff. I've been doing well making changes that make sense. There is a good plan for me to follow from a food addiction treatment recovery plan based in Florida and I'm still working my way to fully being 'abstinent' and following the new plan 100%. So far I have stayed away from all fast food. This was really hard for me. I have become addicted to certain trigger foods and all fast food joints fall into that category. There have been many days when it's been more convenient to think about going to a drive thru but I like to imagine I live in a world where they just don't exist and Wendy's is a tire shop instead.

I am always amazed at the amount of energy and how much lighter I feel when I eat mostly clean foods that I cook at home. You would think that would be enough! Anyone who has dealt with addiction in any form knows that the beautiful side of sobriety is not usually enough to keep an addict on the straight and narrow. There's such a pull to what we crave.

I also find my mind seems clearer too. As I clean out the junk food in my life, my junk thoughts seem to go with it. Maybe I wasn't just feeding my addiction, but feeding my negative mind too. I'm sure it all goes hand it hand.

The counselor that I see says I am on the "pink cloud" and that I will eventually crash back down to earth and start to have to deal with the things I've been stuffing down. I will just do as well as I can and take it a day at a time.

Progress, not perfection.

Love & Peace,
T
