Yeah! I get my peas back. What a strange thing to be excited about. Now that I’ve reached my first major goal, my doctor and I agree that it’s time to move on to the next stage. For over a year I have not had bread, fruit or starchy vegetables following the Medifast program. Following the plan was not difficult. The difficulty comes with changing my mindset. I know in my head all the reasons for walking the straight and narrow for the rest of the journey. But there are 18 inches between my head and my heart full of obstacles, potholes, valleys of despair and frustration and who knows what. Well, I know that I made it this far supported by the prayers of those who cared. I’m going to still need those prayers. The Medifast program has a transitional stage where you add back to your regimen, vegetables, fruit, dairy, whole grains, verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry slowly. I’ll have to be patient and trusting God to keep me on track. I am so grateful for grace – it’s amazing! And it will take me all the way. Green Peas – Look out, here I come. LOL
