What you wrote... the whole gory process, and how we see ourself doing it, and even disgusted while we do it, and full well knowing the consequences, but we do it anyway... I lived it all for too many years.<br /><br />There is this Line... a line you seem to be approaching. The Line where instead of getting resolve AFTER the fact... we come up to this line, and gather up all the gumption we can muster, and step OVER that line.<br /><br />The Line where we act on our resolve BEFORE, instead of after. The Line where we are willing to go THROUGH the emotional pain, instead of run from it.<br /><br />The Line will will change your life. And you are so close... I see it in your post... I feel your longing for it... your hope for it... even your fear of it. <br /><br />Because to reach out and embrace the Line, we have to let go of our food... of using it as our anchor during emotional storms. <br /><br />But we CAN ride out the storm, and be okay. We can come out the other side, not with regrets but with a feeling of triumph and pride. The emotional storm is temporary, but the sense of accomplishment will be permanent.<br /><br />You are so close, you really are!! One more step... that is all it takes... step over that line and you are there!<br />Loretta<br />=^..^=Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517537111134440492.post-14258212801076098182010-04-03T10:30:28.469-07:002010-04-03T10:30:28.469-07:00It looks to me like your thinking is beginning to ...It looks to me like your thinking is beginning to change.

You WERE doing strand...Word of caution, my friend. You WERE doing strand tests last time (I remember how well you documented the tests) before you ended up deciding you had to cut. Proceed with caution!! LOL <br /><br />Now, methinks your husband needs to get on board and be proactively supportive with your goals of dieting, yes? Luckily, I am not a fan of mayo (it reminds me of when my grandmother would save grease (lard) in an old coffee can on her stove to reuse in cooking...it looks...and tastes to me...like that stuff in the can. Nope, I use fat-free Miracle Whip. 'Course, there is indubitably sugar in that, not that I have checked. <br /><br />I'm with you on the headaches. I am prone to migraines, though I usually try to fend them off with massive doses of aspirin, Imitrex, or both. But even small headaches (small in comparison to migraines) are so painful to me. I hate them and I dread them and enough so that I've apparently damaged my liver or kidneys (can't remember which one the doc's office said) and have given myself numerous ulcers in the stomach all caused by aspirin. I try not to take them, only when I get a headache, but I usually take at least 4, sometimes up to 6 at one time, depending on the severity of the headache. I would rather have the stomach ache. I truly fear the headaches. They are just the worst.<br /><br />I hope today is better for you, my friend. I have every faith in you. You did it before, you can do it again. Now...adding exercise to the routine will also help it move faster. Take it from a sloth who does no exercise these days but remember my glory days...sigh...Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.com
