A Pretty Good Day
Today has been a fairly good day for me. I have been on the go most of the day which is not an everyday occurrence for me. Getting out of the house in the sunshine and spending some quality time with my hubby was nice. It is the night time that is presenting me the most problems with wanting to eat everything that is not nailed down. It is presenting a challenge that sometimes reduces me to tears of frustration..
I know it is going to be worse the first few months of a diet but after a while it will hopefully get a little easier. Since I am just starting out, there are more bad days than good days in dealing with Food Addiction and trying to re learn my eating habits an portion control (one of my bigger challenges). I know by the Grace of God I will get through all of these things this time. Is it easy? ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Will there be setbacks? My Goodness, YES THERE WILL BE!! But I have to make this work this time because each day I don't actively pursue the root cause and get past it, each day I let something slip in my eating, is another day that I am risking my life. I have got to make this work because it is my last chance to get it right !!

I do believe with all the tools you have you will succeed. You have me to lean on too. I am with you in this journey. I don\'t know why you say this is your last chance to get it right. If you fall get up again. You can do it!! No, it won\'t be easy... but it can be done!! I am aware this is to help our health, physically and mentally. XX
I refer to this as my last chance to get it right simply because if I continue on the path I was on for the last 30 years, my life would be cut very short. It had to take my doctor saying due to my rapidly failing health (chest pains have been mostly every day for the last month or so and just enough to make me aware my heart is under terrible strain but the last week or so the pains have been getting worse and I am not being sent to a Cardiologist). So while I know there will be stumbles along the way, I HAVE to make this work long term this time because if I don\'t, the weight will kill me. It is a terrible reality that I have let myself get to this point but my doctor says if I change it now, I may do okay and some of the Obesity induced illnesses can get better.
I know it is going to be very hard but I am committed to it this time. Thank You for being so supportive and encouraging because it sure helps. I am here to support you as well. Big Hugs !!
Oh my I am worried about you with your heart. Can you request from your Dr. to be seen by a cardiologist? I bet this is so frightening for you. I heard there are pills for your heart. Yes, you do need to lose weight for your health and I also do. My Dr. tells me this every time I see him. I have illnesses also related to weight. I am so mad for getting this overweight and it seemed to happen so fast. We can\'t go back. Only forward and take one day at a time. At least you have started. I am having a hard time and I can do good so far for only one day. I am here for you. You can do this!! Praying for you....
