Nutrition - trying again

Time for major attempt #3 at a nutritional re-vamp since January.
I have been doing really well with increasing my fitness but as I've already mentioned, nutrition is an ongoing challenge and it really is why I am losing weight by the ounce rather than the pound :) I have gone up and down for as long as I can remember with my ability to be consistent with healthy eating....I'm going to consider these "relapses" as often happens for people working through changing major habits. I grew up connected with Alcoholics Anonymous - my mother is 31 years sober this year and through her I have encountered countless success stories from people who have moved through the process of changing addictive habits and their lives. Although my vice isn't alcohol, I feel like I am working through the same process. For me thus far counseling, addictions support, etc has not been particularly successful but I really do feel like I have all of the right pieces happening in my life to finally be able to conquer this madness.
I figure that if all else fails, I'll succeed just because I'm being so public about this journey... eventually I'll be too embarrassed to fail again! ha

  1. Gotta love all that advice, especially the "protein with every meal" part. You are loved and supported through the struggles - what a blessing! It's my experience and observation that a person cannot get free of an addiction until she lets it go emotionally and spiritually and allows God to do the work for her. Love always ............
