Coming into this space is like taking a breath of fresh air. There are many aspects of our process I draw strength from. Today however what I absorb and resonate with the most deeply, is the honesty. We all have successful days and the not so successful days.
I have had to re-evaluate my thoughts on success during my journey to lose weight. What is success for me?
Today I had both a successful day and a ___successful day. A friend and I drove to Jasper, about 400 KM each way from where we live. We left at 8 am and got back at 11:30 pm. She doesn't speed like me, nor was I driving and I llllooovvveeee to drive, I would have had us there and back a smit quicker!!
Anyway... I ate crap. Totally. Everything I shouldn't eat. I did it in small portions. I enjoyed it. I am wwwaaaayyy over my points. The success was to hang out with a good friend and get some heavy thoughts off my chest. We both did. Am I an emotional eater. Absolutely. Was I eating my emotions today. Absolutely not. I was in control. I had a fantastically successful day. Change is happening. Not just to me, but I see it here everyday when I read our conversations, our sharing and our support.
My initial intention of my post is to share a water drinking friend with you. I found these wonderful pure oils of the rinds of lemons, limes and oranges. I only put three to four drops in my water. The company that makes them is Boyajian.They are quite inexpensive. I love them....alot. If you don't like plain water, and don't like chemical additives try them.
