Ok . . . so seriously you all must think I am soooooo psycho! One day I am up and the next day I am down and so on. I really feel like I am on a roller coaster. My emotions are fierce. I have got them all: happy, sad, angry, melancholy, hurt, bitchy, bitter, anxious, ecstatic, hopeful, jealous, lonely, un-Godly, satisfied, excited, miserable and selfish. I am positive there are more . . . but I am sure that by now you get the picture . . . I feel like I am going crazy in my own skin. Please bear with me while I am on this journey. I really want to learn ALL that God has for me to learn on the way.
There is good news . . . no GREAT news. I DID IT! I went to two parties today. One at my parents house and another at my best friends house. There was a ton of food available: hamburgers, chips, fruit, soda, salad, cookies, smores, cheese (cheddar, for those of you that have read my very first post) and apple pie. SHEESH . . . It was crazy . . . but I did it! I did not eat anything other than the shake and entree from my program. As it is said in my program . . . I stayed in the box! I am actually sooooooooooooo proud of myself. I proved to myself that I could do it. I am not gonna lie to you, sitting at a table with people eating cheeseburgers, dripping with grilled onions and avocados, I just wanted to lick their faces . . . YES that was HARD not to do. But I got through it . . . I did it!

Yay, Lee! What a challenge! Good job!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good time & left feeling good!
ReplyDeleteLee - this is so exciting. I'm really so happy for you. :)
ReplyDeleteWell done, I can imagine how difficult it would have been.
ReplyDeleteNice work :)
I'm so proud of you, friend! I know how hard that can be and social eating is one of the biggest challenges for me because it's easy to just eat and eat and not think about what you're putting in your mouth (and body) because you're distracted by those around you and hey, everyone else is doing it, right? But then when you leave the party you're left with regret and self-loathing - OR, in your case, when you stay "inside the box", you leave feeling the wonderful high of successful self control! Way to go! :D
