As I mentioned in my last post, which was a month ago, I was getting in touch with a center regarding my emotional eating. Even though I am stable at a "healthy" weight I am far from healthy.
I really thought this was something I could do on my own; but I just wasn't ready. I haven't weighed myself in a month because I am working on things that are so much more important to me than that number is right now. On a positive note my running group is back in action and we are training for a half marathon! I am very excited by the prospect of completing something that I have wanted to do for so long.
My emotional eating really started taking a toll on me lately so I decided it was time I talked to a professional. At this point in my journey I am working on the issues I have with food and why that is where I go to comfort or medicate myself. Why I am so willing to fight for everyone else in my family's health, both mental and physical but not my own. As I have said before we are just works in progress. Once we progress through this part of my journey then we will work on the nutrition piece.
I am grateful for all of the support that my cyber friends have given me and I am so grateful that God gives us what we need when we need it.

2011
Happy 2011! With the new year and a new decade comes resolution. A resolution is a resolve or determination. I am determined to be a better person. I am determined to truly work on me as a whole human being. I know I started a lot of this work in September but I am long from being done.
I have struggled a little by way of mindful eating, etc this past month. Although I do feel that I recognize so much more when I am not being kind to myself or healthy with my body so much more than I ever did. So I am determined to work on that.
I have been able to maintain my weight. I still have weight to lose. This week I am scheduling an appointment with a center that works on nutrition and emotional eating issues. I am looking forward to seeing where this takes me.
Happy and Healthy 2011 ahead for us all!
