It would be so much easier if we didn't HAVE TO eat. But we do. Often. And it is so much easier, and often tastier to eat the bad thing, or too much of a good thing.
It would also be easier if I was a terrible cook. But I am not. In fact I am borderline gourmet, and the only thing keeping me here is my food budget.
I am not a huge sweets fan. I know, when fluffy people say this, skinny people roll their eyes. But seriously, aside from the occasional Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate with Hazelnut bar, or some once in a while sweet treat, I am not a huge sweets fan. But if it's there and I am hungry, well...you know.
I crave salty and crunchy. Not ANY salty and crunchy. Usually chips. Or nuts. Or something nut like or chip like. I always have to end on salty, not sweet.
Why am I telling you all of this? Because I am starting over. I have put most of my lost weight back on...AGAIN! I am not all miserable about it...not beating myself up...well, maybe a little. But I know my first step in the right direction always has to be accountability. So here ya go. Hold me accountable.
Also, we are going to do the unthinkable. We are going to start over as a family.
Because look, I love bread. And chips. And pasta. But they all make me fat and make me feel like crabapples. And I can't imagine what it's doing to my children. And I KNOW what it's doing to my husband. Between us all there are too many health scares, too many mood issues, pain issues, weight issues and more to just sit here and act like I haven't learned what I have learned about food. It can heal us, or it can kill us.
I want it to heal us. And I don't want to go backwards again. So pray for us, that we can see this lifestyle change through.
Amen sister..going through it with you!
