Hi all, I finally feel like I can do this!! I am now wrapping my mind around the fact that this is a way of life, not a diet or a temporary thing. At first I was thinking well, maybe if once a week I could have a snickers...maybe if this and that. But I am accepting and actually embracing the fact that this is ME...this is it, this is change. And I'm feling fine about it. I know that when I get past induction I will have a little more variety as far as foods, and desserts. But for now I am committed to this, I am excited about it. I actually feel sexy today. I bought a couple things over the weekend, and they fit beautifully. One size down, fitting comfortably, no humongous fat rolls - I mean, I still have some, but they are not as "rolly" lol. Anyway, I am loving things right now, God is good...and I can't complain!!! I am even coming to grips with my reason for overeating, and eating the wrong things because of how I felt emotionally. I would eat because of sadness, depression, boredom, anxiety, anger, even happiness. And I've been through all of these emotions in this last week, but have kept in line and did not stray. I am finding other ways to cope with these emotions, and with the help of Christ I will be better than I have ever been. I cannot take the credit for this transformation, but I give the credit and glory to my Lord and Saviour, for helping me and giving me the strength to #1 accept the fact that I need to change, and #2 giving me the strength TO change. He IS an AWESOME GOD!!
