Highs:

Welcome to month 2.2! I made it through the holidays with my joy intact and minimal weight gain.

Lows:

Getting back on track was hard!  As I transitioned back to my whole foods, healthy eating plan, my sugar addiction kicked into full gear. I wanted sugary treats every day all day.  My cravings felt overwhelming at times.  At one point, I became so desperate, I made a single serving of fat-free pudding and inhaled it.  Just so you know, that didn’t help- at all!!  No addict ever feels satisfied with just a little bit! So, I turned to God and prayed.  I prayed to have the strength to fight the craving.  I prayed for my mental state and I prayed to just make it through the day without giving in.  I prayed the next day and every day after that.

Real Life

I’m back to my pre-holiday rhythm of eating.  I still experience cravings.  I just keep moving towards health, while praying every step of the way.  It helps that my family is cheering me on constantly encouraging me.

I did host a pity party for one when the New Year’s Eve pizza arrived.  I CHOSE not to have any because arthritis in my back may flare-up.  Emotionally, that was a hard choice.  Physically it made sense.  I’m taking each battle as they come.

In Conclusion:

It’s hard to go from feast to famine.  I need to rethink why I believe junk food is celebratory food. I’m baby-stepping my way to a new healthy normal for my body and soul.  It’s funny how my greatest weight loss week came with my greatest struggles to date!
