Literally, because of my lifestyle change, it is the first day of the rest of my life. I've read the books. I've logged onto websites. I've counted my points. I've excercised. I've counted my points again. I've breastfed children because THAT burns 500 calories a day. I've excercised more and yet I've found myself at 229 pounds. How could this be? I'm the girl with everything. I've got a wonderful husband, a great career, and two darling children. I should be happy, but I'm not. I look at myself in the mirror and I ask myself, "Who is the cute fat girl?" I'm admitting today that I have an eating disorder. How did I realize this? Let me tell you. I look at my weight watchers books that I've read soo many times and I see, again, how many fruits and veggies I get. I also got this new wonderful cookbook from my favorite sister in law which talks about different veggies, how to make them, and what the benefits are of eating these new pureed veggies. So here I am ... I'm going to eat plain spinach. I know its good for me, but it doesnt taste that well. I eat it anyway..... and I gag but I continue eating because its supposed to be good for me. That my frineds is an eating disorder. So today.. I admit it and I own it..... Its the only thing I own. LOL. This will be beneficial in the long run... I know it will. Own up to your problems. Once you let it out and admit it, it is a huge weight (literally) off your shoulders.
