I have been thinking the last few days about habits. They say "Old habits die hard" and for the last 7 days I have been living proof of this. It's hard not to wonder into the kitchen and grab the first thing I see. And it's hard not to stop by my favorite convenience store and bring home a cup filled with my favorite fizzy drink. But it's these habit that put me in the situation I am in and need to learn to create new, healthy habits from this day forward.
It's hard to admit, but for a long-time food has been my best friend. Food has become the thing I have turned to when I feel sad, lonely, depressed, stressed and even to celebrate the happy times. Food has been the thing that no matter how bad or good things are, it's always there. I have come to the realization that I need to recognize food as fuel for my body and not a way to dull or numb my feelings.
I realized that many of the emotional struggles I deal with won't go away in this short 100 days, but I am hoping that this 100 days will give me the tools to fight a winning battle and not give into those old habits again.
