Bright Life

Me, in the beginning. January 6, 2019.

Today is Day 18 of my new way of eating which consists of no sugar, no flour, 3 meals a day and measuring my food.  I gotta say that it sounds awful even when I read it but 18 days in, I feel better, more in control of my food, which is no small thing for a person who has spent the majority of her life in a constant battle with the stuff.

A record

I'm using this space to keep track of my journey. I'll post as often as I need to. I want a record of what this time was like when I took on my food and body and life as a priority. 

I'm following the four Bright Lines, created by Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson (Check it out HERE). I started eating with bright lines (irrevocable, do-not-cross boundaries) around sugar, flour, meals and quantities, on January 2, 2019.  My goal when I started was to get to a right-sized body. My estimation of what that might be is based on when I last felt pretty good which meant that I have 47.7 pounds to lose. And the last time I was at that 'right sized' weight? It was my wedding day on May 15, 2010.
