I am a food addict.... I am a stress eater.... There I said it. It's out there. I never thought (until recently) that either of those titles pertained to me. Now, I know that some of you are scratching your heads..."What she didn't realize she was a stress eater/ food addict? That's Impossible!" This is precisely what my wonderful husband said to me just the other day. I have looked at others as those things but, I didn't see the fingers pointing back at me. That is crazy that I have just realized this insider information. It's good information to know on this journey I am on. What can trigger me to eat, and eat and eat some more. It is not always what, but who, or when? I hope that is part of the battle. The recognition of who I am.
What does it mean? It means that I have identified SOME of the issues. I am taking charge of the things that I can change and relying on God for the things that I cannot change. This is BIG stuff!
My Aunt Mary sent me an email today with a great quote: "If you want your dreams to come true- You can't oversleep!" How true is that? I feel like I have finally sprung from a long winters nap.... Or some kind of lifetime nap like Rumpelstiltskin. This is my fight; I am in it to win it...My FOOD FIGHT.
I am starting again today. I have some great news for you all my followers. I have been approached by a friend who is a personal trainer - he has this web sight http://www.physicalfitnessforum.com/ he is making a place for my blog on his sight where people can read and connect to my blog and be inspired by what we already have going here. I am so excited. His sight is really cool...it's FREE and it includes articles, food charts, helpful hints and great information on what to do and how to do it- to become and stay fit. I will be tracking my food journals online and will be soon posting my weight and measurements. I need to see it to keep the progress "real" and make myself accountable. Please check out his sight and leave me a message about what you think.
Blessings+
