Thank you, baby Jesus! I made it through Christmas alive, well, well-fed and I still managed to be down another pound today at my weigh-in! Pause. Exhale. Happy Dance.
It can be done! I can make it through a holiday without making myself miserable and filling myself with chocolate, bread, potatoes and cheese. I did find myself staring at all the sinful foods; and thinking about them. A lot. Obsessed! Addicted!
My friends and I were talking about this over lunch today. -And I think I've mentioned this before. While I can't this is the same (having friends who have struggled with addictions of various types) but food addiction really does parallel other addictions pretty closely. I'm making good progress, maintaining a good attitude and trying to get better, yet still all I can think about is F O O D. I am seriously going to talk to a professional about this. I mean I've always been a little odd; okay, a lot odd but holy cow this is a little much!
Until I can sort my brain out, I will continue to try to do the right things. I worked with my doctor and have found a good combo of vitamins and I can totally tell a difference in the way I've been feeling overall these past few weeks. I, for real, did join the gym this week. They open next week and I'm ready to roll!
