    I've really changed.......

    .........this morning I rode an emotional rollercoaster and my heart shattered.
    As I sat here crying - I needed something to take away the pain I was feeling.
    I got up, walking into the living room and put on my WATP tape.

    How is that a change?
    I didn't realize until I had walked 3.5 miles (going back and forth 1/2 mile at a time but alot closer together then usual), was feeling emotionally drained from crying and went to take a short nap.....as I was drifting off the thought hit me.....I didn't turn to food.

    OMG. I didn't turn to food. Possibly for the first time in my life - I didn't eat to fill the hole in my heart. I didn't dull the pain I was feeling with food.

    I was in shock and proud of myself. And I realized, if this didn't knock me off the wagon - nothing will. Nothing at all.

    Why am I sharing? Maybe someone else will read this who is having a tough day and think.....wow if LadyHawke can do it. So can I.

    I really have changed.

    Tam, that was a really nice thing to read. I am really pleased that you didn't turn to food. Once you remain strong once, it becomes easier to stay strong a second time.

    FWIW, I am really proud of you.

    It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




    I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

        {{{{{{{{Tamariah}}}}}}}}}}} I am so proud of you.

        I was getting ready to play my WATP and thought I'd check ADBB before I did it. I am so glad I did, thanks for sharing your day with us. I am sure it will help others to not turn to food when life jumps up and bites them too.

              Thanks guys! You're the greatest.

              I am still in shock that I didn't turn to food. Its so hard to believe. I mean I should be elbow deep in something sweet and thinking of the next thing I'll shove in my mouth......but I have no desire whatsoever to turn to food.
              Its actually a turn off. Wow. That feels so nice.

                      Hi Tamariah, that is the best news i have heard all day and it was a great thing to read this morning first thing. Thanks for sharing and helping the rest of us realize everything is possible, even if sometimes you don't think you will get there. You are proof that we will.

                          Lady Hawke,

                          Today is my very first day, and this was the first post I read today. You can't imagine how inspiring this is. I'm going through a very emotional time right now too, and for my entire life I have turned to food for comfort. Last week that's exactly how I started dealing with my problems - shoving everything in sight into my mouth to deal with the pain. At the end of one day when I felt miserable, that's when I decided enough was enough and I had to come back to Atkins.

                          Thank you for being so strong and thank you for reinforcing that I can do this too. We all can do it, food isn't the answer to our problems. Be proud of what you've accomplished and thank you for inspiring me!
