Personal Evaluation
1. Compare your feelings about yourself today with those you had twelve weeks ago. Today I feel extremely confident, sexy, even. I feel closer to 'normal' than I ever have in my life. I feel like I have better understanding and self-awareness, and I feel like I have more control in my life than I did 12 weeks ago.
2. How do you feel knowing that you alone have the power to CHOOSE lasting TRANSFORMATION? It's a scary thought - because that means whether I make good or bad choices, the consequences of those choices are ones that I have to live with. It's also exciting though, because I've always been held back by the thought that the way I am is dictated by genetics and I'll never deviate from that pattern.
3. How have your changes in eating behavior and weight loss affected your family and close friends? I am getting more and more compliments, more questions about what I'm doing and how it works. My family has had to accommodate my 'weird' dietary choices, but they've been mostly supportive. They ask lots of questions to ensure that I can eat whatever they'll be serving. I think to others I am an inspiration.
4. Which has affected them more, the changes in your eating behaviors or the weight loss? In what ways? The changes in my eating behaviors is an every day struggle/challenge. It's not easy to eat the way I do, but it's definitely harder for people who don't eat the way I do to cook for me. This has created a lot of challenges for birthday parties and other family gatherings. Additionally, the changes in my weight seem to be affecting people on a more personal level. I can see that some people who compliment me or encourage me wanting to try what I'm doing because it's worked so well for me. That makes me think sometimes that they might be jealous or frustrated with their own situations.
