Day 83 Weigh in Friday

This last while I have learned some things about me.  I feel like I have been able to come to grips with food.  The choice about what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat.  That I really do have a choice of what I put into my body.  Food really doesn't speak to me and say,  "You have to eat me ".  I can throw away the chips that the are put on the tray.  I can leave the bread in the bread basket, and I can throw away half of a main course because the portion size is to big.  I can also choose to have a piece of cake and still be on track.  What I eat is up to me.  I make the choice, and I have the consequence of the choice.  I know this may sound a little crazy, but I feel empowered because I can now wrap my mind around it and make the choices count for me.  I see it as a change in my relationship with food.

Lauril, you are doing so great! I totally relate to your comment about what you are learning and your relationship with food. Empowered is a perfect word for what I experienced with Weight Watchers too. I was thinking about that today when I was out shopping. I love how I feel, and I'm very happy with how I look, which I've never said before. Losing weight is a huge effort, and when you learn those concepts that make it possible, it feels like a miracle, at least to me. You are an inspiration. Good job!
