A new light,a new day.Never giving up….ever.The bakeries that were once calling my name when I drove by and all the foods on that naughty list are slowly coming to a halt.A plan is hopeful and a detox is necessary.Get rid of the toxins and all the crazy habits that revisited.Some may find these words to hard to read but they are  real.If it hurts it’s because the truth does hurt.Nothing is meant to discourage but to express that you are not alone.If one could live in the wacky world of a person (just for a day )struggling with their weight and their food they would certainly want OUT and FAST! There is a calm after the storm.Until the next one hits that is and of course hoping and praying that this time will be different.Addiction…that nasty A word.It’s not a kind battle.Just allowing us to forgive ourselves and be gentle and positive is what is needed.Then each successful day turns into a new one and within days,weeks and months we’re on top of our mountain again.We are our worst  enemy no doubt but let there be hope and let us work this one day at a time…..let those images of our favorite foods dance their way out of our minds and bring in positive ones…..remembering that nothing tastes better than success! The holidays end and all is quiet and I will now invite you back into my childhood and the food factor…..lots more to read and I hope that you stay on for the ride.
