Lather, Rinse, Repeat

Lather, Rinse, Repeat

A good week is a week where I have been able to follow my own advice. I know what I need to do, and I do it. I am strong, determined, and controlled. I get to the end of the week, my weight is down and I have money left over in my spending bucket.
The problem comes when I am so excited about having a good week that I feel the need to celebrate. The ensuing celebration then proceeds to negate all the progress made the week before, and maybe add a little damage just for good measure. I lay awake Sunday night, beat myself up.  I wake up on Monday and do it all again; lather, rinse, repeat.
In this journey to learn to make choices, renew the way I think, and live in step with the freedom God intended  for me, I have run across a few stumbling blocks, namely; happiness, anxiety, sadness, anger, loneliness, exhaustion and boredom. All of these emotions, and maybe a few I missed, are  the reasons I use to deviate from making choices, and instead let impulse habits run my life. Where do I go from here?
 My next step on the adventure to freedom is to decide ahead of time what I will do to preempt the strike of this emotional Saba-tore. Now that I know he will arrive Friday at 5PM,  I can anticipate his next move; before I find myself on another sleepless Sunday night wondering  "what just happened?"
