The last four weeks I have been attending this lifestyles change program called True U. It has taught me a new way of looking at food and what type of food I put in my body. When I first started the program my goal was to lose all of this weight. In fact that has always been my goal in all the the programs I have started and stopped. Something changed for me along the way. My goal changed. It became more about how I was feeling instead of what the world was perceiving. It stopped being about the pounds coming off. It started being about the energy I was gaining and how I was feeling overall. I know that I need to lose the weight but now I know that in time and with patience it will come off. This is a marathon I am running not a sprint.
I have made many great changes in the past few weeks that I am so happy about. I am eating more fruits and veggies, I am drinking more water and I am taking multivitamins I still have a long way to go but old habits are really hard to break and in time I will have each one of my bad one changed to a good one. One really bad habit I need to work on is emotional eating. I notice when I am bored or when I am having a "moment" I turn to food for comfort. I need to turn to something more positive and more beneficial for me. I believe now that I have seen that trigger I can now work on it. Another thing I really need to work on is EXERCISE. I am awful with getting enough of it. Walking to the mailbox maybe good but I know it is not enough. . There are plans in the making. So being aware is the first step to fixing the problem. That is how I conquered my addiction to alcohol. If I can do that I can do anything.
Well, It has been a wonderful journey and I am sad to see the class end. I do plan to stop in from time to time on the next group. I need the support and the hugs are always a plus. So, till next time......
PS. I still do not like the scale.....maybe one day it will be my friend!!!
