The truth is no one knows you like you and no one can tell you what each triumph in your journey means to you. Most folk are only privy to the \u201cright now\u201d moments of your life. They have no idea who you\u2019ve been, where you\u2019ve\u2019 been and what it\u2019s taken for you to Stand in the power of who you are right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s been wonderful receiving all of the emails, photos and, kudos and encouragement after having lost 159 pounds. I know the days I wanted to quit, the heart pulling strength it took for me to get up time and time again. Pushing foods I love away, deciding to become disciplined, finding my power and center for the goals I\u2019ve attained and what challenges I\u2019ll meet next. What\u2019s been interesting is delving through the layers of hurt and reasoning it took to put the weight on in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t get me wrong; some of us simply love food! They way it makes us feel, the gaps it closes the hurt it over lays and buries \u2013 food for a lot us is a healing agent in uncountable ways. Our days are structured around food, our mood, what we wear, where we go is all contingent upon our food schedule. Unbelievable for most but very true for me, I\u2019d become crippled by all kinds of life circumstances, disappointments, and even wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You see, food doesn\u2019t care what the situation is and like any other drug you\u2019ve succumb to it won\u2019t stop unless you tell it to. For a time you believe you can\u2019t survive without it, and it helps you believe that you can’t. For a time a rested in that belief, food was my champion and I it\u2019s slave. Breaking free only came because I truly saw the effects obesity had rained on several persons I hold dear to my heart. For this I\u2019m grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
