Well, I started out today so well. By lunch I had eaten approx. 400 calories, then things went crazy. I was eating “kids” snack food and of course they are empty carbs. Then my daughter brought home homemade apple turnovers she made in school. Before I knew it, I had eaten it. So now, I have chicken in the oven, roasted potatoes, and carrots or broccoli or both. I am chocking up today as a stumbling block. I am a bit disappointed in myself, but know I can have the body I want. It will take lots of effort and some time. I have been visualizing how I want to look. What clothes I want to wear. I read somewhere to make a collage with pic’s from magazines ( of a body you are working towards) and hang it where you will see it a lot. I have spent little time on myself, and it’s time to make my health a priority.  I am building my own holistic health practice( I am a Reiki Practitioner) so there are loads of reasons for me to lose the weight and get healthy.  I am also studying EFT, (Emotional Freedom Technique) to incorporate w/ the Reiki. In my studies, I am learning a lot about myself and why I am carrying around all this extra weight.  Our beliefs, many from childhood, control us sometimes without our knowing. It is “ME” time now. To work on my weaknesses, and turn them around. To build new beliefs that are positive and healthy.~Believe~
