Food will not break me

As I look at the scale and notice I have lost 160 lbs I reflect on the struggle  it took to get here. It is hard to admit to yourself that you are a food addict and you need help. After months of bad eating decisions and self berating, I have renewed my resolve to see it through to the end and get to my goal. My past decision are in the past and today is a new day. I am almost At a size 44 waist when I started off at a 56. I will never go back to that size. NEVER! I know I need to go to therapy but I have to wait until January when I get private insurance to afford it. Till then I will work hard to change my eating habits and to work out.

Hi there:

just a thought...I just read the article posted today at the beginning of this thread by Angela Taylor. It certainly let gave me lots to think about and, based on this post, might be a helpful read for you too.

Thanks for posting this!  I'm feeling the same - I haven't even had surgery yet, but I've been having a hard time this past week or two trying to stick to my resolve.   I have no real reason for not doing so, just excuses.  There's only one now and I have to make a choice every time about what a really and truly want, and that's a healthy me who is not stuck in old eating patterns!  Gotta move forward!
