What Are You Thankful For?

It's Thanksgiving day here in the U.S.A.  


A time for me to remind myself of how thankful I am to have such good friends and family in my life.

But of course, there are also many, many weight loss related things to give thanks for:

I am thankful that I have learned:

• My food choices are never, ever going to fix my deeper problems.
• Food is not going to make me blissfully happy.
• Food is not my friend.
• Food is not going to make me feel less stressed about the business that is life.
• Food is not going to give me the courage to change things in my life.
• Food is not meant to be an escape from reality.

I am thankful that I am no longer sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I am thankful that I don't feel like I am dieting just because I am eating less.

I am thankful for my improved sleep quality at night -- no more naps during the day! I am no longer sleeping my life away.

I am thankful that food no longer has as much power over me.

Lastly, I couldn't end this post without a Thanksgiving funny...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
