Personal Message:
Some of you know from reading my blog that the grave's dis-ease I have is active again. If you read that post, you know that I'm one of the lucky ones (being very sarcastic here) that gains weight when it's active. The majority of people who have grave's lose weight. I was at the yearly doctors appt. last week and I weighed more than I ever have in my life! That was a big wake up call for me. I still don't weigh a lot, but having an extra 5-6 pounds on me, being a short person, does not feel great......at all!

At first I was frustrated because my eating habits did not change much at all since I found out it was active again back in December, but I still put the blame every where else except where it truly belongs - it's the beta blockers, it's the graves, it's that I can't workout as hard or long anymore, it's so and so and so and so...........You can read more about this blame game in my article below.

If You Really Want To Feel Healthy, You Have To Work At It

As some of you have read in this post, the grave's dis-ease I have is active again. I'm one of the lucky ones (I'm being very sarcastic here) that gains weight when it's active. The majority of people who have grave's lose weight. I was at my yearly gyno appointment not too long ago and I weighed more than I ever have in my life! That was a big wake up call for me. I don't weigh a lot, but having an extra 5-6 pounds on me, being a shorter person, does not feel great.....mentally or physically.....at all!

At first I was frustrated because I thought my eating habits really didn't change much since I was told the grave's was active again back in December, but I still blamed everything else except the real cause - it's the beta blockers, it's the grave's, it's that I can't work out hard or long anymore, it's so and so...........and on and on the thoughts went in my head.

Then I really looked at what I was eating on a daily basis with a hawk eye. And I thought back to December and the holidays and the extra gluten and sugar I ate that snowballed into the next couple of months. That totally debunked the thought that I was eating the same stuff I usually ate so where did the extra weight come from?

I also thought that I should have known better.......I went through this once before.......but I quickly regrouped as I know that beating myself up doesn't help either.......it only exasperates the problem.......so I put my boxing gloves down and did what I truly know is the only way to freedom:

A quote for you:

When resistance fails to produce the desired changes in our lives, we rarely let go, move into the present, and see other possibilities. We tighten more, tense harder, and attempt to control more completely. But resistance does not lead to change. Acceptance leads to change.
- Cheri Huber

Gina's Anxiety Busting Tip

Track your eating. If you're not happy with how your body looks and you'd like to shed some weight, start tracking what you're eating. I know food issues have a lot to do with our inner life, but I've found the easiest way to start to become aware of what you're eating on a daily basis is to write it down - and write down the times when you ate too. Once you write down a week's worth of what you've eaten, you can look at it and ask yourself a few questions:

1. Am I making the best food choices to feel and look my best?

2. What pattern am I noticing around what I eat and the time of day?

3. What one change can I make and implement each day to start my journey to eating healthier?

Taking the time to track your eating will help you begin to receive some insights into your food patterns as well as spending some time on your Self. Food issues can cause lots of anxiety and this is a simple way to start to empower yourself in this area.
