... typo and all...
The point is, I guess, that no matter how well we've done or how far we've come, we really need to keep the "old us" at bay. It'd be easy to slip back into old habits. Last night I actually dreamed about that. In my dream, I found I could drink Coke without pain (I can't tolerate carbonated beverages), but I downed a whole can of Coke. In my dream, I was surprised that I could do it, surprised that I wasn't rolling around on the floor in pure agony, and also both surprised and dismayed at how much I liked it after all this time. I guess that's what comes of reading all those articles on sugar and fat addiction....
And recently I was thinking about what I used to eat, and I was almost nostalgic for Taco Doritos and A&W root beer for breakfast.
So, oh yes, old me, I do remember. I'm just not going back to you.
Love this. You look great!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Kate! We all have spent so many years as that overweight, unhealthy version of us, it's hard to not have remnants there inside us. But every day we make stronger, better choices, we are building the blocks of better, stronger new habits, and lessening that old, toxic voice. As long as we keep our goals, and our pride in our new, improved ways and choices front and center, we can keep our toxic voice at bay, and WIN. :)
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm not at goal.... yet.... I still feel like a winner when I look back at where I came from. I'm not giving up, but my "number goal" isn't the most important thing anymore, my health is.
