You know, when it comes to food addictions, we are at the losing end. If you have an alcohol or a drug addiction, you go cold turkey and never pick up a bottle or that drug again. Gambling addicts stop going to the Casino.
With a food addiction, we are subjected to our addiction on a daily basis. It's like telling a drunk to only drink 3 beers a day and he will be cured. Well, we know how that will work. The 3 beers will turn into 20 because he has an addiction of alcohol.
Is it any wonder that we continue to gain our weight back? We can't stop eating and relearning how to eat has got to be the hardest thing we will ever do. Especially when we are taught:
1 Eat what you are given.
2. Clean up your plate (the kids in India are starving, you know).
3. Don't waste food.
I grew up poor was in foster care for a number of years. Is it any wonder that I can't even get in my car without taking a box of crackers with me? My sister's cabinets are so full that she cleared out half her groceries and gave away 10 bags of food. She once counted 30 cans of green beans in her cabinet.
I think as I work on making better choices in my diet, I need to consider how I got to this point. Should be an interesting endeavor.

I am so confused. My scales are goofy. I weighed four times this morning. First it said 224, then said error. Then the next three times it said 220.
I've stayed under my calorie count, so I'm just not sure what the heck is going on.

I am going into Day Surgery on Wednesday. Both Medial and Lateral Meniscus in my left knee need to be fixed, so I'll be in low gear for a while.
I must begin physical therapy exercises asap because I plan to be kissing dolphins in Cozumel and hugging sea turtles in Grand Cayman in June. I also plan to walk down Bourbon Street before the cruise.
If I'm not 100%, I'll just take my walker along, but I PLAN to be at least 75% by June 16th. Prayers and good thoughts are appreciated.

When I got married at 19, I wore a size 10 dress. Then each time I had a baby, I gained 20 pounds. I actually had five kids, so you can do the math. I've been on every diet I can think of and guess what, I'm still fat. Those diets all worked, but I didn't work the diet. So I had to figure out why. Obviously the diets were good because "normal" people lost weight. So I decided that I must be broken somehow. The sad truth is, I was right. I was broken.
I was married to an abusive man for 12 years who broke me in every way that a human can break another human. Then when I was free, I gravitated to men who continued to break my mind, my ego and my determination. It didn't fit their agenda for me to be healthy, happy and slim. How could they dominate me if I was mentally stable?
At last I decided that all the choices I made were my responsibility. I chose men who treated me like dirt and used me. I just thought if I was loving and kind, they would eventually come around and begin to love me. That's a big lie we tell ourselves. Then I realized that it didn't matter if they loved me if I didn't love myself.
That person described above is not the person I am to day. I'm independent as all get out. I'm losing weight because I want to live a while longer so I can enjoy the life that I cheated myself out of before.

I am so proud of myself. My granddaughter made cupcakes with fancy green frosting on them. They sat for a couple of days on the kitchen counter. I asked if she planned on eating them soon and she said no, so I THREW THEM IN THE TRASH!!!
New mindset and new lifestyle. Now to start exercising.
