In awe!

This morning, as I do once a week, I got dressed and took a photo of my stomach. I put a shirt on I have never worn and looked down and was blown away.

Eboni said she can't see the difference but I see a HUGE difference. I included the picture because I'm not sure I've ever seen myself look like this. Not in my 20s at least and not eating. I think the look I've finally achieved (below) was achieved by practically starving.

I do not want to go through my life hungry. I like food. I like good food and I love to eat. In fact, Eboni got me an Edible Arrangement that consisted of chocolate covered strawberries and believe you, me, I enjoyed them! I'm allowed and it's okay. I probably won't feel 100% but it's a price I'm willing to take because I love them!

I just can't get over my stomach and the shape my body is taking. I really wanted to share because I've heard from a few people that my story is inspiring and I don't want to exclude details. I know what I looked like before--which wasn't bad but it wasn't this! I'm just so shocked. I feel good and I'm looking better. Imagine what I'll look like in 6 months!!!! 

I love the fact that I am eating food. Real food despite the boring aspects of the food. Real food is going into my mouth and nourishing my body. I think that is people's first question "are you eating?" YES! a lot too. Well at first I was eating a lot. The truth is, almost a month after starting, I don't need as much food as I needed before to feel full. So I stop when I'm full and don't gorge. It's lovely. Now I eat food to live not live to eat food.

Thanks for reading!
