FINDING JULES

This is to chronicle a journey that I began in September 2005. A weight loss journey is what it started out as, but I am coming to find it is more than that it is about being almost 40 and still needing to find out who I am, what I stand for, what my purpose is and what brings me joy! And I am hoping as I peel off the layers of fat, I can find the person I am meant to be and be happy!

HELLO, MY NAME IS JULIE AND I AM A SUGAR ADDICT

I had a routine physical today, and talked indepth with my doctor about my diet. My struggle with weight and food, especially carbs. I mentioned my thoughts on being a Sugar Addict, and she did not dismiss it to my amazement, she said that she thought that I probably was and that Carbs are my problem.

Addict, it is just not a word one expects to associate with themselves. All I can think about is how will I over come this?? We have to eat. I have to feed my family. My doctor has recommended that I see a nutritionist, and have her evaluate my diet and the levels of nutrition I need, but she did say she thought the low-carb way would probably be what works best for me. So for now, I need to just set back and let the truth sink in. The life altering, conscious opening truth. I AM A SUGAR ADDICT!
