So I've come to realize that the station I love to watch-The Food Network, well I can't anymore. I found myself watching a show called "the best thing I ever ate" and they talked about cupcakes...all I wanted to do was jump in my car and go to the cupcake store and purchase one of each. OK, that's over the top, but that's how I felt. I'm glad that I am starting to understand these thoughts and feelings that I have when it comes to food. I use to not care and would just eat whatever I wanted. Doing things in mot-oration is OK, but going over board is just out of control.
This morning during church, Pastor Mike was talking about being a generous giver. Are we generous when we give, do we have a cheerful heart when we do? He used the illustration that when you go into the store and you walk down the chip isle-you see the big family size bag of chips, you touch it, decided to purchase it and take it home. Of course it's the most expensive bag of chips you can have....but when you open it you feel ripped off because you just purchased the most expensive bag of air. There are many thoughts that you can take away from this...but for me I felt it was a great reminder of (for me) the let down food had in my life. I wanted it to "fill" the voids of things...once I'd eat it, all I had again was the same void and a more calories I never needed to begin with. This cycle has stopped and it feels great.
I'm excited that this has been the first week that I haven't had heart burn while sleeping and I have more energy during the day. I'm excited to see what each new week brings.
Weight- 0 (no pounds gained, no pounds lost) 12 pounds total.
