Good Morning

Good morning everyone, Or afternoon depending on where you live! One of my daughters friends at work was with her husband on vacation last week. She called to let them know she wouldn't be back in for a little bit becasue her overweight husband who is only 49 years old had some chest pains. When they took him to the hospital they found out that he has to have heart by pass surgery. I had met them just a few weeks before at my son's wedding. The man will be ok he'll have his surgery. Please include them in your prayers. Then I got to thinking about how since I had lost this weight while it not being a cure all I really do believe that it has extended the length of my live. I already know it has improved the quality. But I wondered..why did I and why do I know have such a hard time fighting the food addiction? It would take years of theraphy I'm sure to figure it all out. My surgery has helped me to control it. I don't bother with sugared foods. I eat healthy things and watch what I eat. But now and then stress can send me looking for just one more sugar free snackwell cookie. Those things still have calories! Or I'll have more sugar free jello with sugar free coolwhip. Ok so its not a tremoundous amount of calories we're talking here but geesh! I'm not hungry when I do it. It's like I'm feeding a different beast inside then my tummy. Its a constant battle. One I plan on fighting for the rest of my life because if we give up the battle obesity will with. I remind myself how much better I feel physically and mentally about myself so that the other things that bother me become minor. At leasst thats what i'm telling myself!!! Just blabbing today! have a great day!
