Back with a vengeance

I started using MFP about 8 years ago and lost about 50 lbs. Maintenance was my downfall. Finding what works can be a challenge. I decided not to follow any diets out there. I’m 59 next month so this must be a lifestyle permanent change. Before this morning, I was willingly putting poison in my mouth through processed foods. I was so deep in that I forgot what real food tastes like. I expected to be starving by the end of today and I’m not. I had plenty to eat as far as quantity but the quality is what made me full. It’s a good day. I prepared my meals for the week last night. I wrote down a few affirmation cards to keep nearby when I wake up, when I am about to eat and for when I am going to bed. Those words are important. I “talk” to my body with the goal of having its cooperation. I want every cell to hear me say how important they are to my mind and my existence. I felt silly telling my body how important it is to me and that I love it and yet, those are facts. I am happy knowing tonight I sleep with my best friend, my body. ❤️
