This can't be good, two rest stops in one day. I just wanted to post about my evening. Dr. Scott gave another seminar like the one I went to in March of this year. I went to talk with the people in attendance about how much Dr. Scott has done for me. I know some of them probably thought, as I did, I want to talk with someone that is actually in the program. When I was in Dr. Scott's office on Monday, I told Dr. Scott he could give out the address for this blog or my email address to the people at the seminar. He asked if I would like to come and say something to them and I agreed. It was fun to do it and I hoped I might have touched someone that was in attendance. I may never know but if one person decided to change their life because of what I said, it will be worth the time I spent there tonight.
On the way home my wife and I were talking about this journey and the fact I was able to wear a shirt tonight that I hadn't worn in a long time because it was to small for me. It actually felt great to be able to tell the people at the seminar I was in a shirt that two months ago was to small. Sometimes I have a hard time believing that I have really lost that much weight but when I put those two shirts on tonight, it hit home and I love it. Anyway back to the discussion between Vick and me, as we talked about the changes I have been and continue to make, I realized this journey is about a spiritual change as much as a physical change. I am learning to put my spirit in control of my body. By that I mean that I am controlling my body by listening to my mind tell me how much and when I should eat, not eating because my stomach tells my to put some food in it. That is quite a change for me. I have to keep going now.
Just a quick note about a site I came across tonight. This site will allow you to enter your zip code and find a restaurant with healthy choices. You would have to look at the choices and see if they fit in the Repairvite or Clearvite programs but I think you could probably make one of the choices work. I found a couple that would work and it is nice to know I can still take my wife out and keep on this journey. The link to the web site is: http://www.healthydiningfinder.com/home
