At first I felt horrible for this as I have started so many "diets" and "journeys" and failed that I couldn't help but immediately feel this was just one more but than thanks to people like you my attitude adjusted. Yes I was cheating but usually in the evening like when you spoke of at dinner when my body seemed to want more than just raw fruits and veggies and though I tried to deny myself it just got worse til I would give in and eat supper along with my family. Next day though I would be right back to my green smoothie, fruits and vegetables. I have already lost 4lbs and I feel better, stronger, more energy. I also see myself making better choices naturally. Choices I was making before, I make them and then realize you know I don't want that anymore and I smile knowing my body and mind is changing, going in a better direction. It is people like you that are helping me see I can do this gradually, that its okay if I cheat as long as I turn back in the right direction and keep moving forward on that path I have set to a better, healthier me. I just want you to know how much it means to someone like me to see I am not alone, that my own struggles are just like others and that I -can- do this one step at a time.Jeannie Purdiehttps://www.facebook.com/kreativideaznoreply@blogger.com
