Well Mother's Day  has ended on a good note.  Had a wonderful, non-food, time with all my kids.  Great week because since starting the program people actually asked me if I was losing weight, even my son.  I am beginning to feel the difference too.

I stopped and asked myself some why questions this week and was surprised by some of my answers. 

Why did I start this program? I told myself  it was to feel better but the truth is I needed some new clothes and I had to go to a large woman's store to buy a new coat and pants. I cried all the way home. I needed to make some changes in my life for many reasons.

Why have I continued?  It feels good to feel control in a long time.  I don't want to give in to the yens, so I don't.  My head has changed.  This is something I really want and I am making life changes. 

Why will I continue?  It feels so good.  I am taking one step at a time.  I must continue to look at a difficult time as a moment in time not a lifetime of failure.  If I want something I can have a piece and feel OK so it is not necessary to eat the WHOLE thing leading to a week, a month, a lifetime of binging.  It is only now and tomorrow I can start anew.

I MUST KEEP MY HEAD IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND I CAN DO IT!
