My Addiction to Food.....

I had the opportunity to meet these 2 wonderful women!  Well I already knew Olivia (Curlee) Ward (on right).  This was the first time meeting her sister Hannah Curlee.  Olivia and I played basketball together in high school.  They were on last season of Biggest Loser.   Olivia was the winner and her sister was runner up.    Anyway, they were at Covenant Christian Church and said something that I have been thinking about ever since that night.  They said that while they were at the Ranch they both felt God talking to them.  He said that "Why do you crave food when all you have to do is crave Me.  Then you will have everything that you will need.". 

This is exactly how I feel!!  I crave food and I need to crave God more!  I have also come to the realization that I have an addiction to food.  I eat and eat and eat.....and I know that what I am putting in my mouth is bad.  I am also setting a bad example for my girls. 

I need and want to change but I just don't know how to get back into it.  I say "get back into it" because I always start something but never finish it!  This is one of those times....my weight loss journey.  I have said (in fact...I told someone the same exact thing today) I need someone to hold me accountable.  That is NOT what I need...I need to be accountable for myself. 

I hold things in...frustration, feelings, etc... I need to quit doing that and be truthful and speak my mind.  I am going to try to continue this blog in the hopes of doing 2 things!

• To continue and stick with a lifestyle change and not just exercising & eating right. -and_
• To have this blog as a way to get my feelings out there and not hold them in.

I may be brutally honest (especially with myself) at times but I think that is what I need to do.    PLEASE feel free to leave comments or even email me.

I started this blog when I was training for my first Susan G. Komen 3 Day for the Cure.  The title says it all....I will change my life "One Step at a Time."
