A New Life, A Day at a Time

Yesterday was really hard for me. Actually this whole week has been really hard


for me. This past weekend being Easter I was okay I will spurlge and then Monday

it's back to the grind. Well needless to say that when I went to my checkup

yesterday I got my butt handed to me on a platter but in a nice way.

I have been struggling with this for the past 4 months. I have finally realized

that I am an emotional eater and I need to do something about it. When my

emotions start settling in what do I run for? Something sweet! That's why my

weight has really slowed down. After talking with my Dr yesterday he put it

this way to me. Sherrie, you came to me to make a life change. NOT a temporary

change. If you continue this process in 5 yrs or less you will be back where you

were or higher. The he proceed to compare my emotional eating to the Word of

Wisdom. He asked me, Do you drink coffee? Do you drink beer? No I don't I

respond. To me he said that's what your doing with your emotional eating. It

really hit me! I almost started to cry right there. I DON'T want to be heavy

every again! I don't want my kids to be heavy! I never want to see 200 again.

So right there I renewed my commitment to him and my myself. So no more sweets

not only for me but my kids. We may have them on occassion but not the way we

do now. Not until I can get things under control and eat one or two and not the

whole box.

I want my family to be health and fit! We can do it. I can do it!
