Wonders Never Cease

Wonders never cease. I am staying on track still, a.k.a. I get by with a little help from my friends. My weight has finally starting to take a nose dive. FINALLY. I am feeling better physically and psychologically. I have stayed off refined foods for a few days and feel healthier already. This gets me back to my brilliant idea of not eating things that aren't food. Seems simple, doesn't it? Yeah, cheetos aren't food. (I can hear the whispers of "dang" right now.)

I got a great book that has been helpful to me and is probably useful to anyone who has "food issues." It's When You Eat at the Refrigerator Pull UP a Chair by Geneen Roth. I think I may have mentioned it before and I am just getting into it now. It is an emotional read for me but I figure when is now a good time... I have lost and gained weight my whole adult life. This time, when I get to my spot, I will not be leaving it. I need to make sure I know how to stay there, to say the right things to myself, to see my reflection the right way.

While I sometimes think that this whole quest (including the blog) are just too selfish for words, I remind myself that I can help no one when I am sad and unhealthy... I hope that's right!
