everyday is a journey.
Let us stand by our duty fearlessly and effectively.
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.
I am not bound to succeed,
but I am bound to live up to the light that I have.
--Abraham Lincoln.
It seems that I no longer can eat whatever I want. After two stomach bugs this Winter, plus an occasional irritable attack on my bowels from the radiation, I had no choice but to accept this realization. I can no longer eat whatever I want.
I love food. I enjoy food. I love to try different cuisines from all over the world. For someone like me, this isn't good news. The thought of giving up foods I love is depressing to me, but they do not love me in return.
Besides, even though I have lost weight with the radiation treatment, I have rather indulged myself since Christmas. In the end, I have gained some of it back. No surprise here. My weight struggle has plagued me now for ten years. I don't think I'll ever be the size I used to be.
Homemade popcorn, no butter, but seasoned with herbs and shaved mozzarella.
A simple supper of mashed potatoes, sliced avocado with sauteed green beans/tomatoes.
Quinoa and rice salad with veggies.
Pasta vegetable salad with avocado.
Romaine salad with strawberries, avocado and tomato.
Having said all that, I'm okay with that to a point. I don't need to be that small, but I would like to lose some weight around my tummy. I would feel better in clothes and in my mental health. As you can see, I've gone back to my healthier lifestyle. I still have binge days, but I'm back on track on a daily basis. What is my weakness? Chips. I'm a chipaholic! Bring a bag home and it will be gone in one sitting. What is your weakness and how often do you indulge in it?
Have a blessed day everyone.
