MitchieMay 27 Posted November 3, 2015 Amanda, you have let the sunshine of truth help you move forward. This is not going to be the easiest thing for you, but you know where you are trying to go. Don't let anything stop you! Not anything! You and I have to remember that if it required me to walk across the Death Valley in barefeet I would do it. This is nowhere close to that. So, when you (and I) are tempted to eat something that we know is not on the prescribed diet, go get on the treadmill, take a walk, call a friend, drink some Water, whatever distraction you can find! I know that you can do it! I am going to need you when mine starts on Monday (9th) to tell me everything that I am telling you now and then some. I have some meditation tapes that I haven't touched in a year. Maybe it is time for me to pull them out and see if getting started (seriously) with meditation will help me to focus on something other than my stomach as I go through this. I am rooting for you!
