Ready For Fall
Aug 06, 2010
Man, has it been hot or what???? I am soooo ready for summer to be over. We go on vacation August the 20th and I can hardly wait. I need this vacation. Work has been very stressful but I must say I have been so proud of myself when I stop to think that I don't turn to food to console me or ease my stress any longer. That amazes me when I think about it because food comforted me for so many years of my life. Now I exercise, read a book, visit friends...whatever. But, I don't go raid the kitchen! Boy can I speed walk when I am pissed off!!! LOL....I finally figured out that when I eat because I am stressed not only is the stress not healthy for me but then I was punishing myself by overeating with whatever I could shove in my mouth to comfort myself temporarily. Then I would be pissed and stressed about how much weight I was putting on. Absolutely a vicious circle indeed!!! Thank God that my VSG surgery. reprogramming the way I think about food and all the kind people here at OH who encouraged me over the past 2 years has enabled me to no longer be a slave to food. I eat to live rather than living to eat!!!
Hope all of you have had a great summer. Mine has been a little boring but I had some fun in the sun here and there. Just didn't get to go to the lake as often as I would have liked. But now I am just ready for vacation and then for this heat to be over!!! At least the heat doesn't make me ill the way it did when I was so overweight. And I actually enjoy wearing my summer clothes now. That's a blessing!
