One more good choice

I know I've written a lot about my story, but I can't help but think that I've left some gaps. So, if there is something that you have a question about, feel free to ask me. Either here on this blog, or in person. I really want to be able to help others because I feel so blessed to be where I am today. Sometimes, it's hard for me to really understand how much weight I have lost and where I used to be, but then, there are times like today, that I feel so fortunate to have made this change and to be able to feel this good.

It really comes down to choices. Like this morning, someone always brings breakfast into Sunday School for everyone. Sometimes it's a breakfast casserole, sometimes it's muffins, but today it was dougnuts. I have really missed dougnuts. And I really wanted one. But, I made a choice and did not eat one even though it was a tough decision. I didn't need it, and I had already had my breakfast at home. Before I was paying attention to what I was eating, I would have taken that dougnut (or two) without a single thought. It feels good to make the right choice. It really does.

A quote that I have heard recently and has stuck with me says "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels". I am starting to realize that more and more. I love to eat sweets, but I have to realize that no matter how those foods taste in the moment, they really aren't worth the consequences. I know all about consequences. I am a very logical person. Even in my anger, I am too level headed to act in a rash way because I don't want to deal with the consequences. Why didn't this logic follow through into my eating habbits? I don't really know, but I think that it's starting to get there. Now I understand, if I eat a blizzard, I have to work it off or deal with the consequence of added pounds. I hope that this stays with me and that I don't fall back into my old way of thinking. I am going to do what I can to not forget these important things that I have learned.
