Okay, so it has been awhile. A lot has gone on in the past 6 months…some of it good and some it has been a challenge. I have not gone to a lot of meetings lately, but I do feel that I have grown spiritually and in many other ways.

I am using a food plan that is working well for me. I am not completely abstinent, but I have limited the amount of sugar and carbs that I consume daily. I am slowly losing weight and I am happy with that. But the best part is I have found an inner peace. I am not obsessing over my weight and when I make bad choices, I am able to recover from it and move on. This is new for me. In the past, once I binged, it was all over. That was my excuse for giving up and going back to old behaviors.

I have learned to enjoy walking. Before it was always a chore. My husband and I ride bikes together once or twice a week. Except for my debt (I am making progress there also), I feel like my life has never been better than it is now.
