Losing it without losing "it"

Is that possible? I wonder if it is! Can I lose weight and not feel like a crazy person the entire time? The past several days have been pretty rough, emotionally. All that has been going through my head is, "Have I lost weight? I haven't! I know I haven't! I should eat chocolate! No, I shouldn't eat anything! No wait...I should eat some vegetables because they don't "count"! But then maybe I still won't lose weight! I will never be able to...or I'll lose weight and just gain it back like I have before! I need chocolate!!!!!! No, NO CHOCOLATE!!!! How long until dinner?" Ahhhhhhh!!! I seriously feel like a nut case!

This whole journey is going to be more than even I bargained for. I am not sure what tools I'm going to need to keep going. I'm sure I will collect a ton on the way. Right now I am in search of ways to retrain my brain so that I can have some peace of mind. I have several avenues to pursue for guidance and I am ever thankful for friends who send me text messages stating "Love you so much. Too much to let you fail :)" So here is a quest for you, my lovely friends, when you think of me and think, "Hey, I hope she's having a great day and totally winning!" send me a text message or an email. Any old random time!!! Really! It will really help!

Here's to losing it without losing "it"!
