My Addiction
Years ago Coles opened up next to our house and they had their big opening day.
My big mistake.
Why I though it would be fun as a family to go to the Coles opening day, I have no idea. A small amount of kids entertainment was well and truly outweighed by truck loads of free packaged food, I looked around and could see I was very much out of place. But it was too late. In a moment of weakness, I had cookies and it spiralled into a regular poor habit with hubby and I eating cookies when our emotions got the better of us #truestory…
When managing my emotional journey, I found balancing the bodies biochemistry, physical cravings and addictions so much more supportive than trying to fight both physical and emotional longing at the same time.
So here, these choc chip cookies, were a sufficient replacement to keep my blood sugar balanced, reduce physical cravings so I could heal the emotional longing for sugar and food.
I hope you enjoy them too 🙂
