Fit with Ruthie

I have dreaded halloween for quite a few years... That Halloween holiday candy seemed to always be the gateway to my season of gluttony. It seemed just as I gathered enough UMPH to throw out the left overs candy.. Or finally sit down and eat the whole bag so it would be gone... There came thanksgiving .... And oh the drama and misery of that holiday... by they time Christmas came around I had just given up... Just turned off the care button. What's it matter anyway.,, I will start over on jan 2... So pass the peppermints, cookies and texas trash and I mean NOW!!! Of course my life is different now but those feelings and love love love hate for food and what I let it do to me are still there.  The holidays make me sad in many ways, because I know there are people who are going thru what I went thru. When your a food addict, when your emotional well being is ruled by how long it takes to get that soda from sonic or how quickly that blue bell can get to your mouth, when your self es...

Its a thing. It's a thing that drives me a bit crazy. It's a thing that I believe shows us the symptom that many christian women in our society face. The search for WHO THEY ARE and how they fit in. I am talking about those surveys that tell you who are most like. You know the ones i am talking about .. and you have probably taken a few quizzes yourself, But just in case you are not aware.

Its been 8 months since my last post. I have become one of THOSE people. A few years ago i would find blogs I loved and was inspired by and I would follow them… only to find they would go months without posting. ….. Sorry… thats what I have become. I am at a point where my blog needs to be something more. I have been so busy doing what I love i haven't had time to sit and write. I dream of my own website, my own forums page, my own youtube channel to help coach and inspire people to be who they were created to be. The past 8 months have been amazing, stressful, exciting and mind blowing. I am in the best shape of my life but still struggle  to be healthier. Celiacs has taken many years to get accustomed too. I have had to conquer my food addiction, my sadness that I cannot be like everyone else and that some food is just poison to me. Thats my life… but even with the celiacs, i am thankful. I am thankful i finally feel GOOD… GREAT… I feel better than i did when I was 10 years old...
