Getting your mind right!

Today I made a bad decision. I stopped by Kroger to purchase some decaf tea and a rotessori chicken for dinner. I saw that  some m & m cookies  were on sale...well, I should have keep on walking, did I? Of course, I did not! I bought the cookies. Everyone has their own type of addiction, mine happens to be cookies...yep, I loveum'. I found myself sitting in the parking lot eating them. In my head, I said, "I am only going to eat one", well one, became two, and two became three. I am not sure if I consumed too many or ate them too quick....I totally started to regret it after because I became tired and legetheric.
 Lesson learned: why am I buying them ( because they are on sale)
Is it worth the pain? of course it is NOT worth the pain
Why am I eating them? Was it for hunger? Am I pacifying an underling problem? Well of course, it was the latter. I had to change my mindset.  Everyone has some type of addiction, drugs, alcohol, sex, shopping, well mine is food. I am an emotional eater. I am learning that when problems arise, do not turn to food for the solution, look for the root of the problem.

Thanksgiving 2012

WOW!! My holiday break is almost over. This was the first year that I was on regular food for the Thanksgiving holiday. I made sure of two things: I MEASURED MY PLATE and I got in ALL of my water. It was sort of funny to fix my plate and to measure everything out I felt like all eyes were on me..lol. My dad told me that my plate looked like a snack..but it was filling for me. For dessert, I have been craving a slice of red velvet cake. A close friend of mine gave me a small slither of a red velvet... GUESS WHAT??? I did not make me sick!!! YIPPEE!!! That was my treat for the holiday.  My weight loss journey is a family affair..A cousin of mine made a sugar free  yogurt pie..just for me...so that I would not be left out on eating dessert. Now I've got to get back on schedule with my sleeping pattern because it is all out of whack!!

What's your passion?

Several days ago I went to a question and answer seminar for a upcoming company. I had never been into the company or heard of its existence until I went to the question and answer seminar. One of the questions that with asked casually to the group was, "what is your passion? "What is the one thing that you enjoy doing? The one thing that if you had to get paid for it, you wouldn't believe that you're receiving money for this particular job. I started thinking... Hum... I'm passionate about education because I've been teaching for the last 15 years, I am passionate about my daughter and being a single parent . It is to my up most benefit that I maximize time along with resources in order to provide an effective life for her. I started thinking what else is it that I am passionate about. I am passionate about leading a healthy lifestyle, eating healthy, a  healthy mindset and healthy attitude.  I am also passionate about trying out or playing with bariatric foo...
