...the middle button on my new coat actually buttons now! Very exciting. I haven't weighed myself yet since starting to eat better. I think I am going to wait a few more weeks.
Yesterday was an interesting day. I went to my Grandma's house all day and man does my Grandma have a load of snacks. She brings out everything! But I was good mostly. I had Special K Cinnamon Pecan Cereal for breakfast, had eggs and bacon for lunch....lots of protein. Then for dinner we picked up pizza and I limited myself to 2 slices, but boy were they tasty. Had a Special K snack bar at 8pm and went to bed satisfied. I would say it was a good day.
For some reason, probably by the grace of God, I am finding it easier to make the right decisions about what I eat. I pray each day He gives me strength to get through the day!

New Beginnings!
Hey all!
This is my first blog. I have never blogged anything in my whole life so be patient with me while I am figuring this program out.
So as of last week I have been eating healthier and watching how much food I take in all together.
Forever I can remember using food as a drug to drown out my pain. I had a hard childhood and as a child we would be rewarded with food; ice cream, McDonald's and such. As I have gotten older I find myself continuing the same pattern. I eat now when I am sad and even happy. Food in my life was always part of celebrating. Family functions were always a potluck and adults always wanted us kids to "go back for more".
I NEED to put a stop to this pattern and I know it's going to be a very hard path but I am motivated and determined to stick it out.
Last time I was at the doctor I weighed 350lbs. To be healthy I need to lose about 170lbs. Whoah!!! That's a lot. More then some people weigh total. When I began high school I weighed 150 and I was pretty healthy. I wore a size 11 and was still not happy with how I looked. I am hoping as I lose the weight that I will find a new appreciation of my body and will become satisfied with how I look; don't worry I am in therapy...lol.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this journey I am starting and give lots of support because I need it! Thanks for reading!
