I started reading a book last night on reversing Type 2 diabetes and was relieved to see that the diet this doctor prescribed to was the same one I have been eating the last two (plus) weeks.

I like affirmations; this really solidified my thinking that I'm on the right path (for me). It will be a happy day when I can be "drug free" and live a life free from the consequences of obesity.

It's a step at a time. God reminds me of this as I charge forward.

It's another beautiful day--what a blessing!

Climbing out of winter was a long, up-hill road (both physically and mentally!), and now being in the midst of spring is a great refreshment. Of course, everything looks brighter when it is seen through a clear (decluttered) head.

I am thankful for this new road "I" found.

Being freed from food cravings has been such a blessing. Unless you have been there, you have no idea how insane that can become.

There is something about this new way of eating that is so satisfying, (yet so limiting). Food is in two catagories now: good for me; bad for me. There is no weighing or measuring, just a rigid confinement to certain foods.

I like simple things, but God already knew that.

My closet is overwhelming. I have been trying to make decisions on what to keep and what to let go of.

That is never easy for me. I'm a saver. But, the time has come where it is necessary; it is too time-consuming trying to figure out what to wear. Some things I am hanging on to is for "just in case." That's probably the majority of my closet!

It's time to take action. God loves order, an untanglement of all the "things" in life.

Last night was the first time eating out with my new food program. It went well!

I am becoming more familar with my new eating style and am not missing (most of) the foods I can no longer have. One thing I want to bring back into my daily program is my coffee with cream and sugar. I am going to wait three months, though, before doing any tweaking.

I can already see good results in my new-found lifestyle, and I thank God for that!

I am waking up so much more rested since not taxing my stomach so.

It's like putting glasses on for the first time and realizing how much I've missed. I didn't know this eating adjustment would give me a sense of "unaging." I feel so energized.

Looking back is always interesting seeing the hand of God in each step of my life.

I feel new habits being formed in my daily walk with food.

Since I make the desserts (and salads) at my place of employment, it has always been easy to "taste" what I make. With my enthusiasm for my redirection, I no longer fall into that trap. It's a good feeling.

I don't know all that God has for me, but God continues to whisper in my heart, "Be still and know that I am God."
