Day 9: Pondering assignment....Fun

I had an interesting phone call this morning.  I was discussing my new way of eating with a family member and all the good and bad things about it...
She then asked me, "so what do you do for fun?"

I paused... and didn't really know what I do for fun... I've been walking?  Hang out with the kids?  But what do I really find super fun?

Food has always my go to for fun.  I love cooking, I love cooking for others, I love trying out new restaurants, I love having dinner with friends.... 

Uh oh...  so everything I love to do is surrounded by food.  No wonder I was so miserable the first couple days...

So today I am going to spend time pondering that very question...  What do I find fun....

A few ideas already... I have fun watching a movie cuddled up with my kids or husband.  I enjoy playing tennis.  I enjoy rollerblading.  I enjoy looking up recipes on youtube for raw foods.  I enjoy going to the health food store to find ingredients for recipes.  I love tanning. 

I love knowing that I am not controlled by food.  I get to control what I eat and what I put into my body.

I may not always be perfect but it is certainly leaps and bounds better than what I was just 10 days ago....

I choose to have fun regardless of if food is going to be involved or not... 

Oh, one more thing...  I am going to have loads of fun shopping for a new wardrobe... :)
