Today I took a few liberties, it being my two week mark and all. I had sugar free pudding AND jello today! I am livin on the edge, pushin my boundries....BLAH BLAH BLAH. As I reflected before on what I had learned in my first week I will now do so for week two. I think I need to remind myself of the purpose of doing this and that even though changes may not be big ones there are still changes that have been made.
I have learned this week, that I must carry food in my purse or else fast food places become even more tempting. I have learned that even the strong have weaknesses. I have learned that when I am tired I want to eat more. I have learned that water can be my friend...sometimes. I have learned that it takes courage and strength to make yourself vulnerable to change. I have learned that I do not need food to comfort me, that I have friends to do that...food is merely a necessity for survival; it can't make me better when i am sick or make me happy when I am sad. I have learned that not everyday is going to be a good one, and that I am pretty much going to run the gamete of emotions each week. I have learned that I really really like my fish tank and the new fish that I got. I find them very calming. I have learned the importance of trust, and what it means to trust in others and to be trusted by others. And finally I have learned that prayer is an amazing tool for strength.
The tiny thin layers of self hate sluff off like the skin of a shedding lizard; little by little ever so slowly until the new skin emerges strong and beautiful as shall I.
Love Angela
Here's lookin at you week three!
It is such a commitment to write on a blog every day, and that much harder to completely change any habit or lifestyle. I am inspired by your two weeks, and will read as long as you write.
