On the Move South !!
another 0.2 gone...!!! yeah i know 0.2 pounds big deal some might say but i have learned early on every tiny bit help and eventually adds up to a pound and these days all those tiny bits will soon be added up to a total of 24 pounds gone!!!! wow, i just can't believe this...i am actually losing, maintaining, and changing into the beautiful butterfly i knew i could be. i still have some way to go getting out of this cocoon but i see the sunshine on the outside...=) easter dinner went great but old habits are still hard to brake. i discussed w/ myself that easter dinner would be a free for all and i'd just go a haed and eat all i wanted. well i filled my plate (full size) w/ all that i love and gorged my self w/ in the past. i filled the biggest glass i could find w/ "full strength" pepsi....mmm mmm yummmy... then i dug in. OMG! just as i expected it was so good but the truth be know which i didn't even know was there... i couldn't eat everything like i once did. i couldn't even push myself to eat even a little more when i knew i was getting full and as for that pepsi it tasted really sweet and the bubbles filled me up like i had to belch (i didn't like that feeling either) i have once thought that this was all a "will power struggle...mind over food" but now my body has taken the steerling wheel and when it says its time to pull over and stop. finally one battle fought and won!! i am not mentally alone here in my body. my mind, heart, and tummy have become partners. =) finally!!! i have this renewed strength that i can "do this" !!! and i finally have some control over my addiction and comfort needs w/ food. i am a work in progress!!!
