So I went on into the doctor today just to be sure that I did not have some sort of virus that I could pass off to my students. So the diagnosis was what I had expected. My body is going through a detox right now. As I am beginning to eat better and make wise and healthy decisions concerning my body, my insides are starting to try and eliminate the toxins that being overweight and making poor life choices have put into my system.
Who would have thought that weight loss could actually make you feel worse than better? The doctor told me that I will feel like I have been hit by an eighteen wheeler for about a week while my body finishes its "detox". Isn't that crazy? I guess I have to come to the realization that I was an addict just like any other addict. The only difference is that my drug of choice was food.
For now, I am down. I feel like I have been on this journey for way more than a week. I want to see results. I can see the results on paper and feel a bit of the difference in my clothes, but somehow deep down I feel like I should already see way more results. I just have to remind myself that it took time to put on and it is going to take even more time to get off.
But even though I am feeling down and frustrated, I know that there are great things in store for me. God has a plan and for some reason he chose this moment to push me to become the best woman I can be.
