1 Pound at a Time. So everyone that knows me knows that when I am not so happy I will self medicate myself with yummy foods. Well........honestly sometimes they aren't really all that yummy....sometimes they are fast foods and they are replacing the foods that I am not feeling quite up to creating because of whatever obstacle is in my way in life that I a avoiding addressing.
For the past 2.5 years the obstacle has been moving and losing having friends and family so close. Duh - been here - read that.
As you also know - I have been working very hard on creating a happy place here by embracing all the wonderful things that are My Life. I mean I blog about 4 of them on a weekly basis. And there are some wonderful friendships being built and I blog about them..........and there are of course continued wonderful friendships and I blog about those. Funny how still those insecurities can creep in and make you think about the negatives though - but lately they don't creep in far enough to reverse the positive forward direction.
In refocusing on the Wonderful I am also finding that the Extra Me I gained along the backward route is disappearing. 1 pound at a time. So I feel way better physically as well as emotionally.
Now if I could just address this Volunteer-A-Holic problem that I have. Sign - where is that sponsor of mine?

you look ta-wiffic!!!
Food is my last comfort place. All my other easy fixes, I've dealt with long ago. Food truly seems to be the hardest one for me. Mostly, because I can't just abstain completley. I understand where you're coming from and I think we eat in the same way (only I prefer salty to sweet). I really admire how well you've been doing. I have my moments, but I've currently lost all momentum. But it's very good to read this. Maybe some of it will sink below the surface and effect some change. Thank you for sharing.
Oops. Right here! I had to go "volunteer" in Sophie's cafeteria so it trook em a while to get back to you. :)
