We're not in Kansas anymore...
Sometimes, in the battle of addiction, all you want is that magical pill that will cure it all. Or that bump on the head that will rattle things around up there and make you 'right'.... like everyone else. Its a terrible feeling, thinking that your struggling with something that will never be fixed. That you can never get away from. It can throw you into a never ending spiral of depression.
Joining Weight Watchers has helped me to see things a little more clearly. For one thing, I now know that I am not alone in my addiction. Not that I ever thought I was the only one dealing with a food addiction... but I never met anyone face to face that struggled with it. Second, I have finally been given a way to see things in a new light. Kind of like a pair of beer goggles... only lets call these... point shades. Not only do they make me look hot, sexy and skinny but looking through them allows me to see numbers instead of food. Seriously, its a whole new world.
Instead of seeing food.. I see the points they are worth. Somehow, that has triggered my OCD brain into finally seeing food the way I was always meant to. I've been eating clean and healthy for 3 days... without feeling starved, neglected, or craving anything!
In my daily reading of blogs I came across some great quotes over at Bitchcakes......
~ "You can never have enough of what you don't really need."
~ " FEEL the feelings. Don't FEED them."
~" If hunger is not the problem, then food is not the solution."

Update #1
Ok, so its been about 3 weeks (??) since I started (and then ended) Insanity. I know, I know... but let me catch you up on whats been going on with me!
Starting Insanity with my Hubby was fantastic. For one thing, it got us both excited to get back in shape again. The last couple of months we have both been stuck on the couch wishing we looked better, but not wanting to do anything about it. With both of us starting Insanity... it gave us that boost we both needed.
A week later I was starting to see a trend. Because I was still doing my 3 days a week of boxing, on top of the Insanity workouts... I was eating ALOT! I think in my mind I saw my heavy workouts as a free pass to eat as much as I wanted. BIG mistake.
So, I decided to let my Hubby continue on alone in his insanity... as I focused on my boxing class and my food.
Realizing that I could not do this by myself... and seeing some fantastic results from friends and bloggies... I signed up with Weight Watchers. I have to say that it is much easier then I thought it would be. I sit down every morning and right out my menu for the day... making sure to keep within my point range. With free veggies and fruit (meaning you can eat as many as you want for 0 points) it is easy to stay satisfied all day!!
My weigh in for WW on are Mondays... so I will hold off and give you an update every Monday night!
As for the Insanity... I loved it. It was a workout that pushed you to your max. I will start it again after I am sure that I have my food under control. Hubby is doing amazing on it and has actually gained 5 lbs and is bulking up and looking... well.... MEEEOW!!!!
