Good morning STACers,
I'm Jess, most of you newbies don't know me, and from reading the check in's lately I can see I don't know most of you...STAC is where I formed my first friendships here at ADBB, starting in August. I've been in a crisis with my Mother's health off and on since Christmas. Presently she is in a slow recovery and we truthfully didn't believe she'd make it. I've practically lived at the hospital...BUT, enough of that.
I love STAC, and the friendships we form here, and the daily enocouragement we give to each other...We may have been around before, but we face the same struggles and pull with foods. Our mistakes have taught us something we can use this time around to better ourselves! Thats good news.
We all have learned things that this time we will do differently and that really is empowering. DO THEM!
When you can learn from a mistake and try again, you are not a failure. THAT'S WISDOM.
Everyone who comes here today and is focused and trying to eat right, drink all that water and exercise is NO FAILURE
It's our attitudes and effort that make us successful and its our tenacity to not give up until we get there that makes is great! I WANT TO BE GREAT!
Our renewed self control and vision of who we can be, separates us from who we were! I AM CHANGED!
Daily I am aware I am not who I was in August, I don't look the same, but mostly I don't respond to stress and suffering and grief the same way at all. I do not eat emotionally, drink emotionally and sit on the couch fatigued like I use to. I am no longer controlled by terrible mood swings from bloodsugars gone haywire! My problems are big, and they feel overwhelming, but since I've become a different person, they DO NOT OVERWHELM me to the point where I return to my former self.
DO ATKINS LONG ENOUGH, FIGHT FOR THIS LIFESTYLE HARD ENOUGH and YOU WILL BE TRANSFORMED...THE GREAT NEWS IS, when stress and crisis come, YOU DON"T HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE OLD SELF!
You know what works, WORK IT
You know what to avoid at all cost, AVOID IT
You know what to do just for today, JUST DO IT!
YOU will be transformed over the daily routines and habits you make, because they are what make you!
