Twist & Turns.

A bend in the road is not the end of the road.....unless you fail to make the turn.

Good Morning Sister W.W.F.F.,

Are you in the bend of the road with your weight loss adventure? Are you not sure if you want to make the turn to get back on track or not? I think we all get to that point at sometime or other. I think we get tired of feeling deprived, even though we know we can have whatever it is we want on this plan, but we should have enough points to cover whatever it is. I think that is the thing, we get tired of having to make sure we have enough points.

Right now you maybe at the bend of the road, the reason could be due to the empty next syndrome, it could be something else that is bothering you. But as Dr. Phil would say.........................................

You can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life.

I have said this before. I had been told many times, how much better things would be in my life if I lost the weight. Health wise, yes, but ''in my life wise", not true. Things really never change, what has changed is me. My attitude toward so many things have changed, my attitude toward myself, the way I allow people to treat me has changed as well. I realized I do have ''worth". Yes, it was there all alone, but it was hidden deep down from all the food I kept stuffing down to ''ease the pain."

Things are going to happen. Life is going to happen. If its not one thing, trust me it will be something else. There are always going to be something to celebrate, something to mourn, letting go of our children so they can experience new adventures in their own lives. What we have to do, is try and settle ourselves and make peace with our mistakes where our eating is concerned. Maybe the food is the ''hug'' you need right now. That is okay. That does not mean your a bad person, my advice is just go with whatever it is you need to do, get it out of your system, stop beating yourself up, and then move on. No one is perfect, at least no one that will read my e-mail. ha.
