A weight loss story
I successfully navigated my way through the fattening fall feasts of 2007.
I did not eat any butterfingers at Halloween. I did eat a few carefully chosen candy bars from my 13 year old daughter's candy stash. I selected things that were chocolate, but not so yummy that I couldn't stop eatting them. Like Nestle's Crunch bars. Those are the lamest chocolate bars ever!
I ate alot on Thanksgiving and on Christmas day. Maybe even on New Years. But the days in between I was good. I did not pig out for two months straight like I have in the past.
My jeans still fit me well. I still haven't weighed myself. I'm guessing I weigh between 145 and 150.
But all this good news is not even the huge milestone. The big milestone is that I have been under incredible stress in my life in the past couple of months. I have not turned to food to relieve my stress. I guess five years of consistent effort, five years of falling down and picking myself back up, five years of watching what I eat, has finally equated to a fundamental change in the basic way that I behave toward food.
If I can do it, you can to. Believe in yourself.
