Empowerment.

I am only at the beginning of my journey.  When I started this I had no idea what to expect. I had no idea if I would grow or change. I feared I would fail.  I had no idea what to expect and it was scary.
Starting the liquid diet this week was daunting.  At the first of the week I didn't think I would be able to do this.  Day 1 was a serious shock.  Now it's day 5 and I feel empowered.  I feel like I have control over my food addiction. I've realized that I can survive without binge eating. I have control over how I handle my anxiety and stress.  It feels amazing.  Today I feel empowered. I feel like I can conquer this addiction. Tomorrow may bring a new hurdle but I'm ready.  I'm ready for this surgery. I'm ready to become a healthy version of myself.
