A revelation

I feel so renewed and energized! I have had a revelation of sorts. The night I had my melt down and confined in my husband how low and pathetic I had been feeling, a huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders. So many things seemed to become clear in my mind. How selfish and self-loathing I had become. There are millions of people around the world who go hungry every day, and yet I take food for granted, and abuse it on a daily basis. God has given me a perfect body. I am healthy, all my limbs and organs work, and I am destroying myself. I am alive, and have an amazing husband and two beautiful children, and I am killing myself. This world is breathtaking, and yet I sit inside all day, instead of going out and enjoying God's creation. I not only want my life back, but I am taking it back! I have not binged in 3 days! I have not even had the desire to. How silly it seems that my entire existence revolved around food for 9 months of my life.
I know I still have a long road ahead of me, yet I feel like I have already conquered so much in just a few short days. I can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store for me, and the next day after that, and the next day after that!
