Day 8

Day 8 is almost behind me...day 8. So often we are immobilized by time. It stops us from believing that we can do something that could help us. Often, it is the letting go of something that is of value to us. We think we cannot accomplish a goal if it involves giving up our 'treasure' for a period of time.

Worst case scenario...addictions.

Because really, how do you help an addict? You convince them that their drug of choice is not needed in their life over the next period of time. I know it is much more complicated than that, but knowing that time will pass without the 'drug' is usually more than they are willing to give up.

Food was my drug of choice. I didn't think that I could give up most foods for one whole month, but yet, I just finished Day 8. I can't believe I've been doing this for 8 days! And I've been passing by all the stuff that I would love to put in my mouth.

Day 8 - 8.5 pounds - 12 inches.....gone!
