Both Master's and mine. 
 
Three months ago i was diagnosed as being diabetic.  i've been working to change the way i eat, so my blood sugar number stays where it's supposed to.  So far so good -- until last night.  i had a meltdown, emotionally speaking and i reverted to old habits.  Food is my drug of choice.  It's been a struggle to develop new habits.
 
Master has been so helpful to me in this regard.  Being accountable to Him helps me make much better food choices.  He's been my coach and my cheerleader, encouraging me to do better.  He said to me once, "Master wants you around for a long time with Him."  This touched me so much.   i want to be around for a long time with Him too, very much. 
 
So i hated to have to tell Him that i gave in to emotional eating last night.  i felt so bad that i disappointed Him, and i felt bad that i disappointed myself.  He reminded me once again that i cannot do that anymore.  Yes Master, i know.  i'm sorry i disappointed You.  He was very kind and understanding -- no lectures or punishment, just a quiet reminder of how important this all is. 
 
But the regret and sadness i feel because i know i disappointed Him, is pretty effective punishment.  He believes in me, probably more than i believe in myself.  i want to be worthy of His belief.  i'll be thinking about this for a long time.

    What a strange coincidence i should be having a conversation with a friend of mine tonight on line about how we give out good advice but never actually take it ourselves.  then i come here to see you doing just the same mims!
     
    You often tell people that mistakes are fine as we are only human.  Well I'm telling you now my girl that YOU are only human.  We can't always go round with air hostess smiles painted on our faces all day 7 days a week.  We get low sometimes and feel sorry for ourselves sometimes (hey - hark who's talking here).  You gave in to a human emotion.   You acknowledge it, that's the difference.  You don't go doing bad stuff and ignore it.  You acknowledge it and feel bad.  that's punishment enough for you dear mimi.
     
    Your Sir is wise man - he knows how hard you try and he also knows there's no need for punishment from him as you do it to yourself enough.
     
    I love you the way you are and so does everyone else here and, as for your Sir - you don't need to be told do you :-)

    you are only human mimi, i totally agree, sometimes we make bad choices because our emotions drive us to it, for whatever reason, we know it's not right at the time, but we do it anyway, because we are human. But as pusscat said, you have recognised it, accepted it and have chosen to do something about it.
     
    you are allowed to be low, i was feeling this yesterday, i very rarely feel sorry for myself or am in a bad mood but yesterday was one of those days for me too - maybe there was something in the water. i know there have been times where i have disappointed Arjun, i remember one time very clearly; the way i spoke to Him was completely out of character for me and totally unacceptable. i know He could of punished me for that and i totally expected that He would, but He didnt because He knew i had beaten myself up over it and He knew the reason behind my behaviour at the time. But, the mere fact i had disappointed Him, and the way He calmly spoke to me about it afterwards, was punishment in it's own right.
     
    your Master is a good Man and it is obvious how deeply He cares for you. i hope you are feeling better today

    That hatred of disappointing him is all part of your submission hon...along with the highs. It feels horrible, but as others have said, your Master is wise and knows that's enough...you don't need to be punished.
     
    You're fine...you're still learning to adjust to your diabetes. Don't be so hard on yourself. It takes time.

    Mimi:
     
    I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with diabetes.  My best friend was diagnosed with it at age 9 and I've watched her deal with it her whole life - not always in the best way but it is a challenge that is hard to relate to until you experience it.  During both of my pregnancies, I was found to have gestational diabetes so I was forced into a diet when my body was craving everything but the kitchen sink.  It was very very hard for me but I knew i was doing it for my sons AND that it would end.  The minute the babies are delivered, this situation resolves, in fact one wonderful nurse snuck in my favorite snickers cheesecake just after my first son was born.
     
    But this is something you will deal with for a long time to come b/c we ALL want you around (your Master was very sweet to tell you that).  You will get stronger and it will be easier to cope with it.  You have to be able to let yourself make a mistake once in awhile and come back from it - move forward. 
     
    We're all behind you on this and any other challenge you may face.
    Hugs,
    T's_Pet

    I know that feeling all to well mimi. It is that feeling that will help keep you on the straight and narrow.... for a while.
     
    What I have finally learned is the person I hate disapointing is myself. That is where the biggest damage is for me.

    OMG! i so know how awful it feels when you disappoint your Master. You're right! It feels awful disappointing Him and that feeling is always the worst punishment.
