Bye Bye Starbucks.....

I don't feel so hot today. My body feels like it's on a withdraw from sugar, salt, and junk food in general. But I am OK with that! One of the things I plan to do is share my deepest darkest secrets regarding eating. Some people might think they "know" me but they really have no idea the sneaking that went on with food. Not that I believe I was really "hiding" anything. Even though I never told anyone, the amount of weight I put on spoke volumes. What is the saying 'we speak volumes by our body language and less by our non verbals'-well I believe it's the same with weight.

Starbucks... it was also my other vice...anything Venti, Carmel or Frap with extra something..yes that was the norm. I think I probably paid for a Starbucks store employee pay...that's sad...wasting money on empty calories and things that never filled anything but fat in my body. I use to visit Starbucks when I wanted to celebrate something...didn't matter what it was, I'd visit Starbucks when I was depressed, I'd visit because I was bored, or I'd visit because I "thought" it would taste good. Well not anymore...see when I started to understand why I ate the things I did because of how I felt it's a real eye opener for me.

Oh and I also meant to let you know that I will be sharing the inches on Saturday. But I weigh in everyday. I believe it's extremely important. I named my scales Jack :) ...for many reasons-but the scale and I will be best friends when this is all done.

A positive side to beginning this. For the first time in 11 months I sleep through the night not feeling like my chest is going to erupt inn fire. The heart burn, indigestion, acid reflex I've had would make a grown man cry. But for the last two nights...nothing! I didn't have to "remember" to sleep on my left side or put pillows under my head in hopes that it wouldn't show up. So I'm pretty excited to have a peaceful night.

So this morning I weighed in....I've lost 3 pounds.
