Diary of a Food Addict

Jesus freak, coffee junkie, kid-and-music-lover, and lifelong, obsessive-compulsive food addict. I am determined to overcome my struggle with weight and be a positive role model for my children and an encouragement for my husband and others. I am facing several health issues that limit my tolerance for physical activity, but I am still a relatively young and fairly intelligent woman, so I think I should be able to manage.

Jesus freak, coffee junkie, kid-and-music-lover, and lifelong, obsessive-compulsive food addict. I am determined to overcome my struggle with weight and be a positive role model for my children and an encouragement for my husband and others. I am facing several health issues that limit my tolerance for physical activity, but I am still a relatively young and fairly intelligent woman, so I think I should be able to manage.

***UPDATE***
After my long awaited vacation back in August, my progress came to a standstill. Unfortunately, unlike in football, I don't get credit for where I 'stopped forward motion', and I've regained almost 10 lbs. This goes to show that it is a struggle, an addiction, just like any other addiction. I'm human and capable of slipping. I won't feed the cycle by feeling guilt over it. These have been my decisions, and I own them. But that doesn't mean I should continue to make the same ones, now does it? Own it, and move on!!

I eat low carb bread and waffles. It curbs my need for carbs. I cannot do the strict atkins low carb either.

Oklahoma was so sad. I hope the tornados have stopped.

Good luck with school, guests and family this week.

Be Your Own Cheerleader. Place post-it notes all around your house with motivational reminders such as, "I feel great!” or "food is fuel, I eat when needed,"

When you fall down, get right back up and try again., “just pick up where you left off
