New Idea
On Sunday, October 1, 2006, I set out some new "rules" for eating. In summary, I gave up concentrated sweets, nutrisweet and concentrated caffeine. For me, it is like a strong drug. It is distracting and keeps me from other things. Sugary foods and being overly full keeps my mind focused on earth, because I think about food so much and love it so much. Specifically I love the chocolate and sugar rush, and the comfort of feeling full. Also, those food stuffs keeps me satiated in a drug sort of zone. Also, when I eat crap, I lose my appetite for actually good foods. You should have seen me, I was outta control last week. My scale says 150 now, but I could say it is cloaser to 149.5. Yeah, I'm extreme, I guess. But really, I think my decision to put some things "off limits" is best, because I really am a food addict. Some people don't like to declare things like that, but it is true. As far as being extreme, so what? So what is new?
Actually, I didn't quit forever. Just until 1-1-08, 15 months.

Hey girl - I am right there with ya...I have recently decided to give up "sweets" (although not fruits) and also CHEESE~~ ugh.
And added no snacking after 8:00p.m.
This has been a great challenge for me - but I can already see it making a difference. My goal is to give these things up for 2 months - and then re-evaluate.
I have also stepped up my "strength training" and working with light weights - and I think it is making a difference too.
Still learning to love me from the inside out - as the Lord does - still challenged - still don't like what I see in the mirror - but trying to love myself through the Lord's eyes! And feeling good about working on the "body" and what I eat.
Thinkin of ya!
Thanks for being on this journey with me.
I enjoy being on this crazy journey with you also.
