Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July! Today marks the anniversary of our wonderful country's independence. We tend to celebrate with BBQs and fireworks, but this year, I am celebrating with my own independence. Independence from food. I am no longer relying on food for comfort or entertainment. Food is a source of fuel, period. It feels good knowing that I am going to the BBQs with a new attitude towards food. In no way am I perfect, and this will be a challenge, but I am not going to these picnics thinking about the food that will be there, I'm thinking about the people I will get to spend time with. What a difference a couple weeks can make!
