Food For Thought or Thoughts About Food!!

It's that time of year where it is all about getting together and eating! What is the big surprise about that anyway.. Whenever anyone gets together, I don't care who you are... eating is usually involved!! So how in the heck do you mange this when, you are not happy with how you look, and feel... I once was about 90 lbs bigger than I am now! 90 give or take a few lbs. It has been about 4 years since I lost all the weight and I did it by attending a support group called CEA-HOW - Compulsive Eaters Anonymous - I can't remember what HOW stands for?
Through this group I learned that I am a compulsive eater... Food I thought at one time was my BEST FRIEND.. imagine how stupid I felt when I found out that food was not my friend!! Go ahead and laugh.. but I felt pretty dumb.. it was like the mean girl at school had been fooling me all this time and then I found out she had been talking about me behind my back doing and saying mean things about me to make me look bad to others!! I went through all the emotions... denial, sad, mad and finally acceptance, maybe not in that order and I'm sure I left a stage out and there were several repeats of a stage.. I guess I should say it was a process.. LOL!!
Anyway that was then and this is now.. and one thing I learned from group is be in the NOW!! So right now I'm feeling kinda bad about all the crap I have eaten over the past few days!! YIKES!! So NOW I have to focus on being good and stop eating bad for me stuff... right after Christmas? right? RIGHT!!! Will it never end? YES IT WILL...... Be BRAVE!!!
