Day 18-20 VLCD Jumping off the wagon!

Life has dealt me quite a hand with an abscessed tooth, Tom and quite a few other things... Just as my plate filled up with tough to chew meats I learned quite a bit about myself. I've heard that life is not measured by this or that and to be blunt, life is what we make of it! I do not measure a moment in time as a definition of self, it is a culmination of events and processes that bring us to the here and now. I am here and now is the time to focus on phase 2. My 21st day on the very low calorie diet and I have found myself in familiar territories. I jumped off the wagon and face planted in the pile of yummies that put on my 100 pounds of weight I set out to loose a year ago. I chose to jump, and I now am without regret, back on the diet, loving myself. I loved myself with every chocolate doughnut, jalepeno popper, and scoop of peanut butter too, however not in the long lasting love that I deserve! We are all different and for our own reasons we are hand to mouth with nutrients that are both good and bad for us. I turned off the ringer, opened the fridge and made a choice. That choice was just as easy/hard, as the choice to follow the diet. Let it be known, it is just as much work to put on weight as it is to lose it... just as the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, they have a higher water bill and when we stop pulling the weeds in our flower bed it is to be expected that we will find new 'friends' growing, just as the lbs n inches grow... so, there is not an easy fix to our weights, there is however a new day to discover new drive, energy, and self... I have taken that day to self discover and now it's on to the next 20 days of VLCD!! Join me in that journey and let's enjoy the onederland that is ours for the taking! Happy releases!!
