The Elephant in the Kitchen

You know how when you’re changing your diet suddenly all you can think about it eating? That was today. I was home most of the day on vacation. I woke up, made a delicious breakfast, very conscious of my Lenten Whole 30. After I finished, I went upstairs AWAY from all the foods to Marie Kondo my closet. This should take ALL day. An hour later and certainly it must be time for a snack. Back to work. Lunchtime. Back to work. Phew. Not done yet? Let me take a break with a little snack. Power through and finish. Dinner time! Clean the kitchen. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a little something sweet? Oh, here’s some fruit.

It’s funny how when you try not to think about something, turns out that’s ALL you can think about. The good news is that I stuck with it. Even all my little snacks! I also got my closet looking like a TV show. Tomorrow, I’ll have a new task to keep my attention turned away from the elephant in the kitchen.
