I know I've said this before but I feel and look like such a different person now, and its not just the weight loss part. (which is AWESOME by the way) Its how much my mentality has changed in regards to health and eating.
When would I ever think that Hubby and I could eat some sweet treats for breakfast like this and it be healthy for us??
Below is a picture of the thumb on my left hand. It looks normal right? Well when I was 12 years old I smashed it in a car door. I cried for days and it swelled up and the nail turned purple and fell off. When it grew back, it only connected halfway up. EVER since I was 12 this was my UGLY nail. I would hide it cause moisture would get trapped under it all the time and it would turn a beautiful shade of Bright green!
SINCE I WAS 12 - Seriously!!
We went to lunch today at one of my new favorite places Boston Market. Of course the bowl on the right is mine - turkey, veggies and creamed spinach (I couldn't finish the spinach-he gave me a ton).
How I would always tell him that I will eat whatever I want and not to tell me otherwise!
How my favorite food group was Chili-Cheese-Fries with catsup on top.
How I always thought that I NEEDED to eat a starchy Carb with every meal or I thought I would still be hungry.
How I didn't understand the difference in what I thought tasted good and what was Really good for me.
He said he was looking at old photos and how he never realized - well neither one of us realized how very BIG I was!!! How Swollen I looked!!! How Unhealthy I was!!!
I am SO GRATEFUL - that something in my brain snapped and I was able to get to where I am today... Because of this feeling I love to share with anyone and everyone I can of how I DID IT.
This blog is my journal of what has worked for me, and if you let me I can help you to get to where you want to be too.
You have to be willing to COMMIT. You have to be ready to do it for YOU!! Not anyone else!
Yup Thanksgiving is only days away. That should have nothing to do with your health. You can still go to Thanksgiving dinner with your loved ones and make healthy choices. This year will be my 3rd holiday on the BFC and I am SO ready, especially with all the healthy recipes I haven learned to make!
So - OK...Who is ready to Commit? Who needs help to get there?? Our little blog community is here to help each other. So make sure to go to my BFC blog list and join their blogs too. We can all help and support each other.
This is PurpleRosy signing off...
Keep on BFC ' n :-)

Me!! I'm with you. You are so motivating. I don't know where I would be without your words of encouragement! XO
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome about your thumb!
ReplyDeleteMe three!!! (and DH)
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew earlier too! That's a lot of years I spent eating lots of sugar! I love to hear things like your thumb nail growing back together, it's such proof that this is a healthier way of eating.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things that I feel better about since I cut the sugar. I think the most notable, and I hate to type it because then I will get sick, but....I have had 2 small colds in almost 2 years. I recently had laryngitis, and it turned into a cold and prior to that, last year around this time I had a cold. I have felt crappy, but not sick. I think it is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed by your HUGE success!!!
