Wow its amazing how great I feel physically. Although there are still many challenges I face, I can say that at this time I am really happy with myself.The weight loss has slowed considerably and I sorta miss the high of getting on the scale and dropping like 5 or 7 pounds in one week. Now it's more like 5 or 7 pounds per month. I have found that being forgiving to myself is the key to maintaining healthy eating habits.
This may sound crazy but thank God for dumping! Sugar is not my friend, nor are fatty foods. My body will not tolerate any of it. It definitely helps me stay on track.
There are times when I may eat a french frie or a couple of chips (not a lot) and that little voice wants to come in and berate me for being a failure but I just tell that voice to shut the hell up, I'm human and not perfect. That really seems to help and yes I actually say "Shut the hell up!! I am human!" and you know what...I don't have that fierce desire for bad foods when I allow myself to acknoweledge that fact that I want them.
The more you submit to your feelings, the less control they have over you.
Life is Good!
