I Am An Overcomer!

Oct 20, 2010

Boy I never realized how much FOOD had interfered in my life. While visiting with family in North Carolina from 9/17 thru 10/19,I believed I faced my biggest challenge yet! Most of the food, although delicious was full of sodium, sugar & carbs! I observed women loading their plated with mostly starches and then fixing a "childrens' plate" almost equally filled with those starchy morsels! I was screaming on the inside, "Stop! Look at your child, Look at what your doing!" Instead I sat there looking sad and feeling very low. Yes, I did eat some of the things I should not have, but I didn't beat myself up, I just used stict portion control and drank my water and exercised. While I did lose while there, my focus was not on the weight loss, but on adapting without giving in to the cravings. I are mostly veggies, & a limited amount of meats. My parents, who seemed to be concerned about my getting enought nutrition, tried to get me to eat those 'Southern Comfort Foods' but I AM AN OVERCOMER!

So glad to be back home in my comfort zone!
