New Day- day 12

I wake this morning with the ever positive attitude I started this journey with.  I ended the day with 2 pieces of toast w/ pb and still under my calories. I find that maybe it’s the protein that I craved. I still ended around 100 cals under, and am fine with that. A fellow blogger, Thanks Robyn, posted a link on very low calorie dieting.  Very interesting reading. I further looked into this and came across a site that discussed calorie restriction. They actually have a society… oooohhh… lolImportantly they focus on the health and longevity of eating this way. I just scratched the surface, but knowledge is food for my brain. Will read up on the subject and pass on any additional info I find. the link, if you are interested is, http://www.calorierestriction.org/HomeLots of reflection time this morning. It goes beyond weight loss, but it is here where much of this surfaced.  Lessons on trust,  being conscious in my thoughts. friendships, and common concerns that tell me I am not alone. This is a journey  of healing. My body and it’s struggles with food. My mind and it’s struggles with identity. And my soul, and it’s struggles with happiness. Each individually and together, make up the person that I am,  yesterday, TODAY, and tomorrow.  To heal myself, is the path my journey takes me. To make myself whole. To own my thoughts and actions. Pretty powerful thing.I am thrilled to feel alive- to have a place to work things out. I had no idea this blog would be such a powerful tool. And I thank all of you who have taken a moment out of your busy day to comment.  Sandy
