Aug. 22, 2013 - Day 14 of SD: I'm so excited to be entering the last week of the detox!!! Today, I started thinking about all the things I will be able to add back to my diet next Friday and, oddly enough, it was NOT my usual list of pizza, Cokes, and DQ Blizzards. NO! What I'm looking forward to eating are things like watermelon, oranges, grapes, cherries, and cantaloupe!!! AND, I'm gonna buy a bottle of pomegranate wine from the Winery and have a glass to celebrate!
This morning on my way to work, I began to think about how I've dieted in my past. Weigh-in day was always cheat day! I would have nothing but water all day until after I weighed in, then it was "Katie bar the door!" Coke, pizza, Rodriquez Inn, ice cream, hamburgers, candy bars galore! (Of course, not all at once!) Then back on the diet I went until the next weigh-in. I am praying for strength to NEVER return to those ways! The new lifestyle will not end at midnight next Thursday night! This is not a quick fix! I want to live to be a healthy, active, cool old lady who wears crazy hats and mismatched clothes! I might even dye my hair pink and drive a motorcycle! I want to LIVE!
Anyway, tomorrow is weigh-in day. I don't have to starve because I am not measuring my success by the scales, and there will be no pigging out on pizza or ice cream afterwards because I am being transformed by the renewing of my mind! I thank God that He loves me too much to leave me where I was!
