visiting family while trying to lose weight is always ... challenging.
for me the difficulty is that food is such an integral way that we all interact! it was how we celebrated the good times, and how we get through the difficult times and pretty much each time in between. Food is how we remembered the milestones of our life.
with the new lifestyle that I am choosing to live I've had to make some food choices that don't always agree with the way that my family eats. And this has become more glaringly apparent when i come to visit my folks.
There are always little treats...temptations...and pretty much a lot of food that I just don't want to eat right now. But I have to remember that I am making a choice. I am conscious of the food that i am fueling my body with.
It's not easy, but it feels really good to know that i am doing something healthy and positive just for me. This doesn't mean that I will never be able to eat the cookies and cakes and other foods, I just won't be having them right now.
and the challenge I guess is that it's really a choice. everyday is a choice. every meal is a choice. and i want to make good choices!
