DAY FOURTEEN

Every time a write a new day number, I want to put an exclamation mark after it. Every day seems like such an accomplishment. And it is. Tomorrow is weigh-in. That was a long week; I’m sure it had nine days in it.

I’ve had a few low moments where I thought, ‘What am I doing? Is this really possible? Is this worth it?’ But then I really answer myself. I’m doing this to heal, to rid myself of symptoms. I’m doing this to finally lose the weight that I’ve struggled with for twenty years. I’m doing this so that I never yo-yo again, because I will remember the sacrifice I once made and know that I will never do it again, not for this long. I’m doing this to get rid of my sugar addiction and cravings. I’m doing this to gain greater access to the Spirit. I’m doing this to accomplish something few people have or ever will, to show myself what I’m made of. I’m doing this to strengthen my singing voice. I’m doing this to discover which foods I’m allergic to, and will know when I slowly add things back in at the end.

So yes. YES. It’s possible. And it’s worth it. And I will never regret having done it. One day at a time.
