Since I started Weight Watchers, it seems that a new leaf has turned over. I have done Weight Watchers before, but it feels so different this time. I am trying to put my finger on what it is...I am just not sure. I declared war on my food addiction, but I have done that a million times! I think with my health issues, and understanding the vital importance of walking intimatly with God to literaly keep my mind right now, I know that food cannot stand in the way of my intimacy with Him! I think I have tasted and seen that He is good and food no longer tastes so good! I have had one really bad emotional day since being on WW, and food didn't even enter my mind to console it. Food doesn't consume my thoughts any more. What freedom! I fear the old thoughts will come back, but for now I am resting in the peace of eating to nourish my body and tracking it all to make sure I know what is going in my mouth!
And the best part is, the scale is going back down! woohoo!!! I know I need to quit weighing every day, but every day this week, I have been down at least half a pound from the day before. I am on my way to that 100 pounds by Mother's Day 2009!
Thank you to those of you walking this journey with me! I don't know how you found my blog, but I am soooooo glad you did!
