Progress Not Perfection

Well,yesterday was a pretty darn good day.  I am watching personal development videos from You Are a CEO and the workshops on Image are really helping me see that how I look does matter to me and others.  I don't feel good about myself or how others view me when I am over weight and I feel strong enough to fight and do something about it.  I have accepted the fact that I may not always win but I will  never win if I don't at least try and put up a fight.  With any fight strategy matters.  Location and environment do impact your chances.  That is why I am committing to spending more time with people who are physically fit and who eat right.

Yesterday I had lunch with 4 friends.  I watched what everyone ate and what was on their plate.  Their is a direct correlation to what you eat and what you weigh.  Exercise also impacts your weight.  Ah the great revelation LOL.  If it were only that easy.  What helps is having principles.  That is mental rules of what I believe and want to live by.

I have decided to migrate towards vegan ism and replaced milk with coconut milk.  I am trying to eat a vegetable based diet and perhaps did get a little carried away with groceries LOL  I think 2 heads broccoli, 4 bok choi, 1 lb of bean sprouts, 2 lbs summer squash, 2 lbs green beans, 2 lbs Chinese eggplant, 1 lbs Chinese Broccoli, 1 bunch cilantro, 2 onions may be a little to much. LOL You think?

Food addiction is not just eating but over buying or over thinking about food.  When I say food addiction I am referring to the strong hold of gluttony.  Loving food to an unhealthy extent. 

I will fight and I will win.  Now off to my healthy breakfast.  This seems to be one war I win most every day.  I eat a healthy FAA based breakfast with dairy, grain, fruit and lean protein sources.

So what are you eating today? How is your battle with obesity and food addiction going? You can join my blog anonymously or email me for more privacy.  If your over weight I understand what your going thru.  We are hard wired for pleasure and to survive so this body and mind don't take kindly to cutting calories or restricting our pleasurable experiences. Your not a looser if your dealing with over eating but we can work as a team to help reduce the guilt, shame and torment over eating addiction brings.  We all hate the fat and more so ourselves when we can't control what we eat. I am learning to have more faith and trust God can and will deliver us all.  Use his tools and fight.

I love you all.
