Starting Over (again)

[LoriJenny]

Hi again. Here I am starting over again...starting right now. What is different this time?? I think I'm ready to give up all the SAD and be a pure vegan now. I wanted to want to do this before, but I just really didn't want to do it fully. Now, I think I want it, I really actually am tired of poisoning my body. I've very much educated myself so I know what to do. I also acknowledge now that no one but me can do this for me. I had a hard time coming to that conclusion...I thought before that being on here and being accountable would force me to do this, but when it comes down to it, it's all about me and what I want to put in my body and how healthy I want to be. I"m tired of trying to eat enough vegan to see some results, but enough SAD food to still stay addicted...making it a constant tug of war. A war I keep losing over and over!
Well...life is not long enough for me to waste too much time on regrets. I think I'll just march forward and have a great attitude and be positive. I can do this. No excuses!

Yep! Nobody here can force us to make the right food choices day in and day out; that's our own personal job. Good for you for coming to accept that responsibility. It's a tough one, especially when we have to acknowledge that someone else did not shove that SAD treat in our mouths, we did it all on our own.

Choose health!

Hi Christine and Carrolynne and Chile! Thanks for stopping by my little journal with words of encouragment and greetings

Today went as planned with the food, so I feel good about that, it was a busy busy day though with lots of mothers day events, which were very fun, but I'm exhausted!! So...I will write more tomorrow.

[LoriJenny]

So far I feel irritated and not happy. Ugh...I hope this is just withdrawal stuff and things seem happier tomorrow.

I decided to attack my moodiness. I got to work and did some cleaning, took the dog on a walk and did a little jogging, then came home and did an aerobics dvd for an hour....I feel much much better All in all, a successful day!

Some of my best housecleaning happens when I'm angry. It's a good way to burn off the energy.

[LoriJenny]

Yay...such a good day I feel enormously better...ahhhhh.

LOL Chile...me too on the housecleaning!!
