When people think of addiction, they think of drugs, alcohol and the like. I think there is a point that for some the thought of a food addiction is laughable. It's food, right? Put it down, step away and jut say NO.
Ever have something you wanted to happen and couldn't stop thinking about it? Remember that new jacket, new shoes or even that chinese food you craved for dinner last week? Take that feeling of want, amplify it and then turn up the volume. Add in some bad education ( thanks to the FDA) and some well meaning folk, then every other person out there who thinks they know the best about your diet and a dash of hope and there you have the carb addict. HI there.
I think I have struggled in some part with either my weight or my image most of my life. I've always been "happy" with who I am. I am a big girl but I am healthy ( insert evil laugh) . I thought that for a long time until I realized it wasn't true. Then I thought, well I am a women and I am in my prime of having children so what the hell is the point of losing weight if I am just going to have another child? Then there became a point where none of the good stuff was even remotely true and my last pregnancy made me so sick I almost died. So here we are. I am here and I am learning. I am in the beginning of my finding the healthy me journey. I don't want to be skinny or a super model...but I bet the pay is good. I just want to be me but healthy.
I have started and stopped a hundred times before, a hundred facebook pages and a hundred different journeys to go along with the precession of thoughts that accompany all of that. I am hoping to be a bit more productive this time under the guidance of my sure will and determination as well as the support of my beloved husband. Though he offered me ben and Jerry's tonight. ( we are working on what exactly encompasses the whole meaning of support)
Wish me Luck!
