Still Clearing the Food Fog...

Wednesday, 24 March 2010

Even after five years of gradually losing and maintaining my weight, I still have times where I struggle with old patterns of thinking and behavior. The difference is now that I have more faith in myself to redirect my energy into positive actions and thoughts. But, when they say, "it's not about the weight," it's really true. Of course, when you're carrying around a hundred extra pounds, it feels like it's all about the weight. But, once the weight is gone, you really do have to keep up the process of self-discovery and loving yourself enough to walk through the challenges and triumphs of life without using food as a drug, but rather to nourish and sustain you through the journey.
