triggers

The next time I am triggered by reversals and I just want to subdue the pain of powerlessness with some sugar, I need to pause. I need to calm down and maybe let myself cry. I am powerless. I cannot control many things. I need to accept that I am addicted to sugar because it helps me cope with frustration and feeling powerlessness. I need to be grateful in those situations and remove myself from all opportunities to take in sugar. I need to go for a walk. Drink water, exercise, breathe deeply and just observe until the wave is gone.
