I hadn't felt like eating much lately anyway but I wasn't looking forward to going even lower fat and BLAND? AHHHHHH! But the I realized this might be a good way to get this weight loss kicked off. I could get through those 1st couple of weeks of a diet that suck because you are withdrawing from everything. But most of all it had been a HUGE wake up call. I have learned that your body can't go on forever taking abuse and if you don't take care of it you will get sick or have gall bladder problems or diabetes or other issues. So for all those years I have used food as entertainment, comfort and everything else but nourishment, I am going to have to totally change my way of thinking, cooking, dealing with emotions and in general eating!! Oh my this is going to be a lot of work but why shouldn't I want to do this? This will help me become the healthy person I have always desired to be. I can go outside and run around with my kids, take those dancing lessons with my husband, buy clothes that I actually like and look good in, feel good about myself and truly be healthy for the 1st time in my life! Now this is easier said then done. I know this because I have tried many times before. But for some reason this gall bladder issue has really made me think and see how fragile your health is and how critical it is to take care of myself. So here I am trying this....again. But my prayer is that I won't be here next writing this again but I will be so proud of all my hard work and it will have paid off and maybe I might even have a cute little black dress to boot! Take care of yourselves!

Wake up call
About a week ago I decided to join weight watchers....again. I think this is the 4th time in my life that I have done this program not to mention all the other programs I have tried. I lose about 30 lbs. each time and then get lazy and quit. But this time I really wanted to get past that 30 lbs. and see some real results! So I was determined. All this was happening in the mist of not feeling very well. For about 3 weeks I have had several bouts of what seemed like the never ending stomach flu. It would come on, then get better, then go away again. So I finally had had enough of it and went to the doctor. She told me is was most likely my gall bladder. I was going to need an ultra sound and was going to need to be on a very bland, very low fat diet.

Way to go sister! YOU CAN DO IT! And, yes, treat it like an addiction. Remember to replace the old/bad habits with something or they will come back. It's kind of like weeding your flower bed--if you don't plant something else the weeds come back. You are def on the right track. Let me know when or how I can help. I love you and want to see you healthy and happy!
