It really is the little things that matter. This morning was reintroducing myself to why whole grain toast with peanut butter and organic honey is my favorite breakfast. I promised myself that I would start tasting my food again. Honestly, people forget why they like food and then they end up eating too much so that the adrenaline rush from doing that is the only thing that feels good. There is no actual secret to sustained weight-loss and health other than to eat less and move more. The supplements I take aren't to replace food. That would hurt my metabolism to starve myself in such a way and be unhealthy.
My goal is to be healthy, not necessarily to be skinny. After all, I don't know if I'd be satisfied with thin if it was only temporary. And I'd be horrible to live with. Why work so hard just to gain it back? This is my life. I want to live a long time. In the wake of my husband's recent health scare, I realized that I never want to put my husband through what I've been through in the past week and a half. So I will promise to take the best care of myself that I can, because I love my family and the best gift I can give them is to be healthy and be there for them. As a mother and a wife, that is my job.
