Now What?

now that the weight is gone, and the body begins to go through this new phase-of healing and recovering from all that excess-what's next? the eating pat is just a part of living, just a new way of life; more alive and fresh, more clarity to see beyond the fog and haze of today and into the brightness and warmth of the days ahead.
we begin this new journey by cycling through other places, both in a physical reality as a group and within a spiritual place that each of us must go alone. we will take this new path to step outside of ourselves and reach out to others who have no relation and from whom we get no other benefit other than to have that feeling within us that we have given rather than taken.
join us on this new journey. our new Facebook group is Gut-Less Wonders!

Finally a new decade of weight!

Well I finally got into the 130 section! After three months and of course a little side stepping I have gotten past a new hurdle :) I thought about how far I would have been if I would not have taken that couple of weeks off and then I remembered where I started and how many times I never even got this far. From a size 16 to a size 8 is a damn good accomplishment and I have to just focus on that last lap :) The other day I put on a size 8 pair of jeans and thought I felt so fat-LOLOLOLOL how hilarious is that! All I had to do is take a quick look at my day 1 pictures and of course I instantly felt tons better!
So now the final stretch-well not really the finally stretch-maybe the final warm=up-life itself is the stretch. Keeping my health and weight are a part of the tools I need to do the things I am here to do.
Good luck to those who are just starting out-or just thinking about starting out. Every day is the chance to start something that will have a significant impact on the life you live.

week 6

well i essentially stayed the same-actually i gained some last week and lost it this week so i thought i was down 24 lbs but i was actually down 20-so oh well. i did cheat a bit and the stress of denise dying took a toll on me this past week. but she made sure to encourage me everyday-the same way she did 15 yrs ago when i first started college-so this week's for her. i will be back on track and now have more reason than ever to do all i can to take care of myself. life stills throws us curves but i don't want to accelerate anything that i may be able to prevent.
seeing her kids at the chapel was hard-not only for their sorrow but for all the years in between that we all lost. no more putting off until tomorrow.
take time to go have lunch with a friend. no matter how tired you are-or how bad your day has been-it's important to take today and get everything out of it that you can. we are not promised tomorrow.
