Process doesn’t promise that it won’t hurt, yet the end result finds you Refined and Strengthened.

Prepared.

My kitchen has changed so drastically that I hardly recognize it.  My mindset, when it comes to food, is equally unrecognizable; however Welcome. I have Broken through into this place of Peace and Freedom. It has a high cost and much is required at this point, but the Fruits bear witness that it is ALL worth it!

One of my biggest areas of Realization and Revelation from my 40 day fast was that I was an emotional eater seeking comfort in food, with terrible food patterns and habits that were just ruining my life. I had to admit them and FACE them, Head on! Through the Process of Denying myself these things I have Broken free from their hold.  I feel a healthy mindset when it comes to food.

I can’t confess enough how much I Needed to be Broken. I needed to Face these habits, patterns and wrong attitudes that I lived in. Hitting them Head-On was the only way it could work for me. These have been the Best 47 days of my Life. They have established a New Foundation. One that I have worked so hard to build, that I am Determined NOT to compromise.

I still feel the urges to snack and the longing for comfort food. It can be unbearable at times, but each “no” makes me stronger and I take more ground. The Exchange has been unreal! I feel the habits breaking, the shifting going on, the Strengthening. It is hard at times, but mostly effortless.

I stand here now with an elevated discipline. Part of it is supported by the Hope that I won’t have to eat this way forever. Most of it comes from the overall Blessing of LIVING with Less Pain and experiencing this NEW Ability to be the person I’ve always wanted to be. It’s coming…

I covet the Grace I am in. I ask God daily for MORE, for it to never leave. I’m enjoying the Dialogue, the grip on my life that was previously lacking.

I feel like the Disease is sloughing away and the Real ME is starting to peek out. I have such a long road ahead. This was all just the Screeching Halt and the 180 degree turn around. I am starting my Engine. I am ready to go forward. Momentum is building.

I feel like I’ve been given a second chance, an Opportunity to really change my Lifestyle. All this self-denial has created a platform. It holds New habits and it holds Great Potential, birthed from Giant Sacrifice. It holds Passion for Health and Vitality. It has all been Preparation.

Transformation begins with a willingness to let it.
