At Age 62 I see Light or Struggles of a Heavy Person Who Has Lost Weight

                                                     At Age 62, I See Light At The
                                                     End of the Tunnel
                                                                     or
                                                      Struggles of a Heavy Person
                                                       Who Has Lost Weight

A lighthouse is important it shows light so that boats do not crash onto the shore.
This is how I feel as I struggle to be healthy, and even though I have lost weight
I still  feel like a liar because I still think, thoughts that could sabotage what I am doing.  So I have this conflict of being successful at eating healthier and sometimes thinking about food as I did before.

I have learned  that when I have eliminated wheat and gluten that I have less sweet cravings, and really I am mainly eating, vegetables, fruit and protein.  I feel healthier, I look better but I still struggle.  So I wanted to write about my process and hope that it might be helpful to someone else who is trying to be healthy.

The last thing I want to mention is this:  we are physical, mental, emotional and spiritual beings.  So I know, I need to be healthy on all these levels.

  2. I think this is a wonderful idea, and it is also courageous. It will help you to chart your changes in health and attitudes, and will help others too. We are all rooting for you as you make this journey and I know many of us are on similar ones. I am trying hard myself. We will share in your successes and be honored that you are letting us do that.
