I have not smoked cigarettes for 5 years and still occasionally I will wonder around feeling like I need to do something or feel like I'm forgetting something only to realize later on it was the want for a cigarette I was looking for or I was "forgetting" to get my cigarettes. It's been FIVE years and this still happens! The brain is a silly thing.
So the last few times I went to the grocery store I was doing this same thing. I was wondering around the grocery store feeling like I was forgetting something only it's taken me a few weeks to realize what it is I'm searching for or at least I think I've realized it. I'm searching for all the crappy food I used to buy, all the junk I used to eat.
It's no wonder why we have a hard time staying focused and on plan when we do things subconsciously without even realizing we are doing it. At least now, when I go to the store I will know what it is when I'm wondering around in search of. I'll know it's junk and I hope I can have the courage to leave the store.
Do any of you do the same thing?
