Today I am beginning my eighth week of this health journey, and, a journey it has been! I have learned so much about myself, my habits, and my dependence on food. I have learned about the cravings that are easily broken and the ones that I will have to continue to choose to combat. I have learned that this thing called "a diet" is really "my diet." It is not to be viewed as some event that happens over a course of time, but rather a step onto another path.
This other path requires preparation. This other path requires discipline. This other path requires patience. This other path requires a different focus. And, above all, this other path requires choice.
Choice, is an action that I have come to know well. It is an action that I did not use correctly for far too long. It is an action that will cause me to leave the old path and walk the new. And this action called "choice", is more than an action, it is right! A right to healthy life! A right to a happy life! A right to a disease free life! A right to feel great! A right to be the best that I can be!
I have always viewed "a diet" as a singular event, but no more. I am no longer on "a diet" but this is "my diet". And "my diet" will require me to understand that EVERY choice counts!
Giving it my all,
Jess
