Merry Christmas to my new belly!

Dec 25, 2009

So, I've baked, and baked, and cooked, and I think we are ready for Christmas.  Sad that I won't be indulging in all the things that are making my home smell so good right now!  But, that's okay.  Not to say that I had to show real restraint last night when I wanted to strangle my family for having such a wonderful time chowing down on fresh, hot tamales.  I had to really have a talk with myself.  I'd be lying if I didn't acknowledge I still have self doubt when it comes to my success.  But, I'm gonna give it my best shot.  I know I won't ever be one of the people who completely does without carbs or considers old favorites complete taboo.  The simple truth is, I love food.  I love it too much, which is why I am in the shape I'm in.  But, my goal is to overcome the unhealthy relationship with food and learn to enjoy the blessing of great food and taste in the small but still flavorful amounts that my new tummy will allow.  This is, all quite a bit down the line as I work through the weeks of recovery and months of learning how to eat appropriately.  I am committed to eating right at most meals and exercising on most days.  This is an adventure that I am looking forward to.

I can't wait to come back and review this post next Christmas and see how far I've come.
