Projectswimsuit (adorable name) I agree, this place is filled with true blue friends.
Tammy, I"m glad you're feeling better about the situation. I can always do better at healthy lifestyle choices when I'm not judging myself. One of the little tricks I use so I don't feel overwhelmed, is I tell myself "just for today" I'm eating healthy. We are sensual beings ... we like beauty (eyes), music (ears), the feel of the breeze (touch), the smell of things, and the taste of things. Therefore, the thought of departing from the taste of many things we enjoyl can be rather disturbing. I'm trying to learn to say "I am not eating that right now, but I may eat it later on in my life". Instead of "I will never eat that again because it's a SIN food". Self-discipline shouldn't mean we completely depart from things, it just means we decide when there's a place for it in our lives and when there's not. This way I don't scare myself into believing the rest of my life will be this austere, nun-like existence. LOL
