I have come to realize that sometimes... ONLY sometimes... there are things more important than staying 100% on program. One of my very best friends is in town and we have been getting as much quality time as possible while she is here... And you know us southerners, when you are with family there is food... and by food I mean DELICIOUS food. The last few days have been wonderful, I have missed Lyndi so much and I love her family... its one of those families that I feel like I am family as much as anyone else.
I am headed over to have lunch with them in a bit and was honestly thinking of cancelling... Not because I don't want to go but because I know there will be fabulous items that are almost impossible for me to say no to... I really struggled for awhile about whether or not I should attend and then I almost felt ridiculous for even considering not spending time with these fabulous people.
I began this journey because I didn't want food to control my life any longer but if I don't enjoy life for fear of what might be served am I any better off than I was before I began? I want every relationship in my life to be healthy... that includes food... and fear is not a part of healthy.
The fact is, its all about choices... today I choose to enjoy every second that I can with my dear friend. I will not go overboard but one of the best part of family get togethers is the love that we share... and one way share it is through food. I'm not giving myself a "free" day that I can eat whatever and however much I want, but I will indulge a bit because today there are more important things than the number on the scale. Tomorrow... HELLO TREADMILL!!!!
