Oh and what a week it has been. I have been whining all week about the self sabotage road I wondered down. I promise after today I won't talk about this sad week ever again.... (hopefully) I took some time to meditate today....a lot of reflection. I have learned a lot this week so I will just jump into what I have learned.
I have learned that no matter how good I think the food will taste it never tastes as good as I think it should. I have learned that my stomach does not appreciate fatty foods or foods that I used to consume it appreciates more the veggies and lean meats in natural juices. I have learned that most things have WAY to much salt in them..all I can taste is the salt. I have learned that for my own safety I need to leave my seat belt on at all times while on the food wagon. I can't afford to keep falling off it hurts too much! I have learned that my long term goals for myself mean more to me then any instant gratification, althought sometimes my stomach doesn't agree. I have learned that this week has really opened my eyes to why I eat in excess. It is such an eye opening experience when you actually try and identify why you do things. I have learned that it is ok to get angry and cry and be frustrated, feelings are not the enemy. And finally I have learned that the journey/road I am traveling on will challenge me in more ways then I ever thought possible. Each obstacle I am able to get through makes me a stronger person and reminds me just how important this journey is!
Another sun has set, a new day will awaken tomorrow. I pray everyday for the strength to "just keep swimming". (thank you dory, from finding nemo)

Oh the wise words of Dory! You have already jumped some huge hurdles in a short amount of time. That is a huge victory in itself. The only slip up is to give up!
