It is December 18th, the eve before I start round two of liquid and I am so ready for a break from food. I haven't posted since July and i know it is because I have been struggling with my weight gain. I finished year one with keeping 50 lbs off my body, a huge feat. This is the first year in probably 15 years that I haven't gained weight. I look at how far I have come this past year and where I would be if I were to never have started this program.
I am blessed to be able to join this program again, year two started on November 20th. New facilitators and a new group with all of us in the same boat. I am ready for this next challenge.
I am starting year two with 50 lbs of loss and my goal is to reach the 100lb mark. I will not be disappointed if I do not get there or give up on how far I have come. It is just a personal goal I have set for myself. If I have learned anything over these past 4 months it is that maintenance is by far the hardest part of this journey and I am not ready to tackle this battle on my own yet. I need to dig deeper as to why I am running back to food and how I can get past this big hurdle. I know as I start drinking liquid tomorrow that I will be able to stick to it because I have done this before. So, while I am enjoying a break from food I plan to write more and work with the therapist to help me figure out why I eat.
My journey is far from over and I know that I will get there, it will just take time.
Time to bring out the ice cubes and wine glass, it's Optifast time again!
