4 Week Update

Today officially marks 4 weeks.

And while I wouldn't say it's been wildly successful....

I am making some strides.

For example:

instead of snarfing down Luke's leftover cheeseburger today....
I had some cottage cheese and raspberries.

instead of buying the peachie-O's off the shelf at the bookstore this week...
I simply chose not to.

instead of buying that Pepsi treat while on office duty (such a bargain at .50 cents!)
I didn't... only because I couldn't scrape together the change.
God was behind that one, I tell ya.

instead of having pop and donuts for breakfast probably 5 or more times the last 30 days,
I have chosen oatmeal, eggs, and protein drinks. (well, and a pumpkin roll one time)

These really aren't just strides. They are like humongous giant steps.

Because to me, these are major choices. Do you remember where I was just a few weeks back?

I let myself have what I wanted when I wanted because, darnit, I deserved it.

And I probably did.

But it was poisoning me. I know that sounds dramatic. But I couldn't stop the madness.

Now, it's not stopped, but it is slowing down...

the choices are changing.
