Defending a new way to live

I spent the last 3 days with 2 very dear friends...one of which I have been very, very close friends for almost 20 years...love each other like the relatives we want to have.  So sometimes we share and say things that strike a cord...and strike a cord because we really DO care for each other.

I can tell she's worried because I won't say diet, because I won't track every bite and won't track every piece of exercise.  She says she knows me and that she knows how and when I succeed.  Other things may have been said, but it was finished with me feeling defensive and her just ending the conversation.

One of the things I did say was that I am working on me.  It may sound like an excuse or b.s., but for me, it is where I gotta go right now.  There are many reasons that I eat--and I do believe that the emotional side is the main reason...not just because I really like to eat.  I am going to continue to work on how I think and self care.  And not worry about how others think about what I am doing.

Meditation, intuitive eating, paying attention to what I am doing for me and for my family.  The weight  will come off and it will come off for good.  All the diets I have been on have been successful for a time...but the weight comes back.  I am ready.  Feel ready, am ready.  Life changing.
