3 day streak right here!!! WooHoo!! ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Might not be much, but itโs a choice that makes me feel great about myself. ๐ Especially in the midst of struggling with congenital health issues PLUS chronic pain associated with a spine injury that causes me to have extremely limited mobility. All that to the side , I know itโs possible for me to keep pushing as long as I have my mind set on loving myself. Which is something I sorta lost track of while raising 5 kids. Now that theyโre all grown up, itโs TIME to POUR LOVE INTO ME. Iโm a private duty nurse & have spent my whole life using my gift of caring for others. However, at 48 yrs young, I realize that I have neglected myself terribly & thereโs very little left to give. So , here I am โฆ almost a week into the transitioning phase. Iโve managed to meet the calorie goal, but having trouble letting go of sugar. I know itโs a process โฆ but I get so easily aggravated with myself for petty things like drinking 8oz of cran grape juice & then since I messed up , Iโm ready to smash a half gallon of rocky road ice cream. ๐ต Not gonna do it, bc Iโm on here instead of allowing myself to digress. Looking for friends who can relate to and/or are empathetic to being 100+ pounds overweight. Letโs share some of our favorite affirmations. All races / religions & sexual orientations welcome to join in. ๐

Letting go of sugar feels like *kitten* (I'm on it!), so do it gradually because otherwise you will bounce. This week you buy 5 cran grape juices, the next week 4 and so on. Replace with walnuts or diet juices.
The key is consistency so keep it up!0
