Her cravings would take over and soon a "cheat meal" would turn into a "cheat day" and then a "cheat week." She would promise herself that she would start over on Monday and get back on track.
She was sick of feeling like this. She was sick of hating her body and punishing herself for eating food that she enjoyed.
Wendy was ready to be free from her non-stop all consuming thoughts about her body.
She was ready to feel good about herself.
She deserved to feel good.
While sitting in the carpool lane she thought about all of the wasted mental energy she had spent thinking and agonizing about her weight.
How could her weight be the one thing that overshadowed all of the wonderful things about her?
She knew that she was a wonderful mother no matter her size.
Her husband loved and adored her exactly as she was today.
Her friends thought she was brilliant, quirky, and hilarious. They didn't care one bit about her dress size.
The negative thoughts were all hers and hers alone.
That's when Wendy decided it was time for her to gain back her confidence and to lose the weight for good.
For the first time in a long time Wendy felt hopeful.
She jumped on her laptop back at home and began her search for a REAL solution.
