Introduction Text HEY, FROM COW TOWN. YESTERDAY WAS A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR ME. I FINALLY CONFRONTED MYSELF AND ACKNOWLEDGED HOW MUCH OF MY MIND AND MY TIME HAS BEEN DEVOTED TO FOOD. THIS WEEK I WANT TO REMEMBER: 1) THE FLAVOR OF FOOD DIMINISHES AS I REACH SATISFACTION-FULNESS. IT IS FAR MORE TASTY AT THE BEGINNING OF A MEAL WHEN I AM TRULY HUNGRY. 2) MY HUNGER WILL BE DETERMINED BY MY BODY, NOT THE CLOCK. 3) DEALING WITH CRAVINGS: THEY COME WHEN I LEAST EXPECT THEM; I WILL EXPECT THEM AND PREPARE FOR THEM. THEY COME WHEN I AM VUNERABLE: 4) I WILL REST. 5) KNOW TEMPTATION TIMES AND LOCATIONS. FLEE THE SCENE. 6) KNOW THE LIES I TELL MYSELF WHEN I SURRENDER AND TELL MYSELF THE TRUTH INSTEAD. 7) IT COMES WHEN I LOSE FOCUS. I WILL KEEP MY MIND CENTERED. 8) I WILL WAKE UP AND RECOGNIZE TIMES OF TEMPTING AS FORKS IN THE ROAD. TWO CHOICES. ONE LEADS TO OBESITY. ONE LEADS TO HEALTH.

I need to lose weight before my next surgery appt. in February. I had a TIA in December 2007 and November 2009. I am prayerful that all will be well in February. I MISSED THE MARK WILL HAVE TO RESCHEDULE SURGERY. POST PONED UNTIL NEXT YEAR. MUST LOSE WEIGHT TO BE SAFER.

I have been sucessful in the past by following TOPS as a member. (from 500 to 140 in the '80's) but with the meds I take I have not been sucessful anymore. I am relying on my faith in God & following Gwen Shamblin's "EXODUS Out of Egypt" The Weigh Down Workshop Program; Christ centered, approach to my health, nutrition & wt loss & self-esteem issues. My PCP has recommended Water Aerobics for me and placed me under the guidance of a nutritionist. It's been a year and I am still riding the roll a coaster. I am confident 2010 is the year I will get off and my new life will begin. Stroke 01/24/2011 side tracked but not derailed. Yeah! ;0)
