I just did my best to fill in my diet calendar for the past few days and I guess my bingeing wasn't as bad as I thought. I was thinking I would be way over calories.

Anyway, I am back on track. By a miracle of fate, a FS buddy was in town on the day when I needed weight loss advice. You know, we hear advice all the time. I know I do. Basically, I usually think I already know everything. Iamalwaysrightitis. Chronic condition.

But I was so desperate. I was a) eating nothing or b) eating out of control. I was going to eat half a jumbo pizza that night. I JUST got off the phone with my husband and told him to grab it on the way home, when she called and we went for a walk. So, I called him back and said, "Wait on the pizza. I am meeting my fatsecret buddy. Maybe this is what I need."

I told her I hadn't been logging my food, and I didn't log my weight gain that morning. She suggested FAT. I said, "But I'm not hungry. I just want to eat." She didn't back down. She said, FAT. She said, heavy cream. Almond butter. 90% chocolate. Brie cheese. She said, "Try it."

She was standing right in front of me, winning at weight loss, winning at life, being honest and present. I was at the bottom of my barrel. I tried it.

It worked.

I am beyond grateful to Erika, but I am more grateful to my Higher Power that I call The Universe for intervening on my behalf. (I mean, she could have posted she was traveling to the midwest, or to see her daughter, she didn't have to specify the city.) Anyway, I choose to believe that it was meant to happen on that day in that way.

And something else. I never, never, never ask for help. But this weight loss journey has humbled me so much. It has been so enriching spiritually, that I can honestly say I am grateful I spent so many years obese. I don't need to stay obese. I don't regret the pain I suffered, the lessons I learned. The lessons I continue to learn.

So, there it is. Me full of love and gratitude and I'm not even on Day 5 ;)

Lady, it is an honor to be on this very real journey with you! We did have a wonderful walk and talk! I'll call you again, next time I visit my daughter in Minneapolis. Meanwhile - glad to be your buddy, right here!

Wow. Powerful stuff. Congrats and thankful to Erika on your behalf!

Lady, what did you mean by "not even on Day 5"? 
10 okt 16 av medlem: erikahollister
Sounds like Erika has clued you in on a great tool to help you on your journey to a healthier you. That is what FS is all about.

Great post, Lady.

Iamalwaysrightitis, can totally relate to that debilitating condition. I'm so proud of how well both you and Erika are doing on your journeys.

Sometimes good things just happen. At the right time. To the best people. Who just need to recognize that they are the best people - just the way they are. Being thinner won't make you a better person - just a thinner version of an already very nice person. I'm glad Erika happened along at the right time, in the right place, for you.

Fat with a bit of Protein is my "secret".

Fantastic some FS buddies are becoming Real Life buddies. Erika - you're a star and Lady - so pleased for you that you've found the brakes! All the best to you both

@Erika, on Day 5 of my fasts I feel a sense of well being, gratitude, and love for my fellow man.

@Shazz, you are right. Being thinner doesn't make me better. Life with less body fat includes less suffering. My knees thank me every day. @Phil, thank you, sensei! @HCB, I would love a guest pass at your gym once I hit 160. 🙄

I'm so happy the 2 of you got to meet up! I can identify with the mind-spirit changes you've gone through in a process that most people view as 'just' physical. I've had so many epiphanies since I started down this path. And most of them have come from the nudging of my FS friends. <3

It humbles ME to hear you like this Lady. Thank you for sharing that.

LOL - Lady! You do not need to wait until you drop weight. I got to Orange Theory Fitness and they are all over the Twin Cities. GOOGLE them. They give a few complimentary classes, too. It looks hard on the website but it is NOT because you can modify and go at your own pace. I started three years ago when I was over 190lbs.

HUGS, Zoe. HCB, I think I am allergic to exercise right now. This is why I picked 160 lb. I may do yoga at home, and walking, but no gym for me for another 60 lb.

Incredible post. Yeah, we all have willpower issues at times, running the red light because we want what we want, and not what we need. You found the brakes with your FS buddy. I know I'm happy I found this site because it really is about accountability.

Let me know when you are ready! I will meet you!
