I just wanted to share with my friends here that I am off to a great start in the New Year. Some areas of my life are as tumultuous as ever right now, but in one area I've made progress.
I have been eating relatively well for the whole of 2008 so far. It was strange, like something just clicked inside of me. I haven't had a soda. I've been eating lots of fruit and veggies. I've cut back on the size of my meals.
I feel great about this change that's been a long time coming. I guess I finally got fed up of looking at my chubby self and at the same time realized that my amazing body deserves all the best. Today I had cravings for soda and a breakfast taco (look, it's like a tradition here!) but I had a banana, yogurt and orange juice instead. All the left over holiday treats at the office look more repulsive than delicious. And my boyfriend has said he will make whatever changes in his cooking that I ask to help me in my quest to be healthier! He does dinner most of the time so that will be a big help as well. It feels great that he is willing to help me out with this since he is a meat and potatoes and fried food kind of guy who despises all vegetables and who keeps telling me I look great just the way I am
.
I just wanted to post this to encourage everyone who is on their first 30 day trial of the year to keep going and know that we are all rooting for each other. I wish you all success in whatever area your goals take you.
Let's make this year the best yet!
