You wanna
know what I love best about this journey? I love that food no longer controls
me. Take yesterday for instance. I made a decision to go with friends to have a
cheeseburger (which was totally yummy by the way). In doing so I consciously broke
my ‘no fried foods’ restaurant goal (truthfully I rarely eat anything fried just
because it’s not healthy). But again, a decision was made. But then after the
restaurant my friends wanted to also get Carvel ice cream cones (w/sprinkles)! I wasn’t interested
so I stayed in the car. Then about 7pm I was feeling a little hungry – and had an
overwhelming desire to eat something totally healthy, so I put together
2 bowls of vegetables (quite a lot), with a sliced up delicious apple and had 2oz
of cheese. A perfect, healthy meal – that satisfied.
That really is
the best part of the entire process, followed by getting healthy, getting
strong and then of course losing weight (which will happen no matter what). I
like making decisions – being in control. Getting healthy one day at a time.
P.S. Good decisions always pay dividends. :)
