The holidays...

Jan 04, 2009

So we made it through our first Christmas without sugar!  Yeah us!  Not eating sugar since April did not make it any easier to resist all of those seemingly constant temptations.  My word!  It did not!  There is sugar coming at you from every direction at this time of year, from Thanksgiving to New Year's. I really thought that I was stronger than the addiction.  I did not cheat but I hate that it still has that hold on me.  The hardest part without a doubt is people acting as if someone died because you choose not to eat that piece of candy or dessert.  I find it hard enough to manage my own emotions when it comes to overcoming the sugar addiction let alone trying to help someone else through it.  Wow!

Ok now that that is out.  I cannot tell you how good it feels to walk into a store and pick a size 12 off the rack and put it on my body!  It was everything I thought it was going to be.  My head doesn't feel like it is going to pop when I bend over to tie my shoes.  It is awesome and worth it.

The hardest part has been the the people around me.  I have lost friends over this.  They have stopped calling or caring what is going on with me and my life.  Even though I do not want it to be this way the first topic of discussion when I see someone is about how I look.  This is tough and I am struggling right now with it.  I guess I start over, try to make new friends and celebrate life.  I wish we had a support group here in my area.  I thank God for everything he has done for me!  Good things are coming in '09!
