I just saw a commercial for breakfast cereal and it brought back a flashback of my days of binge eating. Not something Im proud of but it was part of my food addiction. My favorite was Cocoa Pebbles. I could eat a family size box by myself. It would start with just one bowl, then before I knew it, the entire box would be gone. I can still hear my kids asking what happened to the cereal. I was so ashamed, I would always make up something. Once I said it fell off the counter and the whole box dumped out so I threw it in the trash. Always having to say these little white lies about food just to cover up my addiction. The last thing I wanted was to disappoint my boys. Its weird sometimes when I look at certain foods. I think back to those binges. I felt so stuck. I was over 300 pounds, who cares if i binge occasionally? Its not like losing 5, 10, or even 20 pounds would make a difference. Boy, was I wrong. On March 2nd last year, I decided enough was enough. My boys were about to graduate. I had been divorced for 3 years and men werent exactly knocking down my door to date me. I didnt blame them. I didnt love myself and my life showed it. Not only was my body a mess, but my financial life was an even bigger mess. I thank God everyday for giving me the strength to take my life back. It has not been easy. I have my ups and downs, I am only human. But I will not fail at this. You see, you only fail when you give up and that is not part of my vocabulary. So, one choice at a time, one Skinny Fiber at a time, I am doing this. Thank yall so much for the support you give me daily and the courage yall give me to open up my life on here. If my journey helps even one person, its worth it. Hugs!
