I've woken up this morning and for some reason, my whole attitude and approach is completely different. Lately I've felt like the road ahead was such a long one I didn't know how I was going to do it. Months without food, depriving my body. But over the past couple of weeks I've tried to change that thinking, I'm not depriving my body of anything, instead I'm giving it something. I'm giving it a new lease of health. I'm giving my joints a break so they don't have to carry around an extra 100lbs of fat. I'm giving my heart a break so it can take it a bit easier pumping blood around my body. I'm getting so much more than I'm giving up. We all are, we just have to stop thinking that we're hard done by with this diet and that we're deprived, no, we're making a sacrifice, it's different. Sacrifice is about giving up something that maybe is important to us, that we like and want but for something so much better. I don't know about you guys, but for me, my health is so much better! And I would do this diet 10 times over if it got me to goal, where I feel good about myself, I'm more confident and more healthy.
Today I just seem so much more positive about CD and my journey as a whole, almost excited because for the first time in possibly ever, I see what's ahead of me. My goal isn't just something written on my little yellow card, it's something I can see ahead of me, it's something that for once feels within my reach. For once I know that I can get there. To be honest, I think it's completely because I've given up the woe is me, the poor girl who has been robbed of all her lovely food to have powdered shakes and soups every day for months, instead of thinking how deprived I am, I'm thinking how I'm making a sacrifice for the greater good to enhance my quality of life and probably the length of my life too. I think that once we get to that point, CD isn't such a chore anymore, it's a positive decision that we know is worth while. I don't even like using the word diet anymore!
Anyway, I'm going to stop rambling now, I do that a lot, sorry!! Hope that somehow my rambles help someone.
