Hi, my name is Teresa, and I am addicted to food.

It's true. Food is my drug of choice. Due to budgetary contraints, I am not spending as much on food, but that has not reduced my calories! I weighed this morning (after Valentine's Day) and I am as heavy as I have ever been. And I didn't even pig out yesterday! My blood pressure is not horrible, but it is slightly elevated. My blood sugar is only 120 this morning, but given my family history, I need to watch it closely. My good cholesterol is too low, my bad cholesterol is okay, but my triglycerides are way too high. (Too many carbs in the diet!) And still, I just can't stop eating!!!

I am going to try something drastic. I have to get my addiction to food under control. I want to lose some weight before my birthday. I want to lose weight before summer. I want to lose weight for the rest of my life, which I fear will be shortened if I do not lose some weight!!

Too bad I can't go cold turkey like other addicts! I need rehab!!!

Addendum for today: I had the day off, and it was cold, and I just couldn't get warm. So I ended up working out 3 TIMES just to warm up! I walked 2 WATP miles, and did Disco Abs and the Back.2.Bollywood workouts. I have to say those have to be two of the most fun ways to burn calories I have ever tried!!!

  1. I am noticing that I here lately am a emotional eater. I have been tracking when I "cheat" or just don't care what I eat...and that is what I do. I am on this journey with you and would love to get into this wonderful dress for hubby here soon. So with me being off Facebook for Lent and having more free time...I am working on me...inside and out...just like our seminar coming up and being very convicted while we plan this for our ladies. Love ya Sis and I am hear for you too!
