The quote "we are what we repeatedly do" changed my life.

I read it at a time when I was sneak eating -- and gaining weight at a pretty good clip.

I prayed and asked myself if I want to be a cheat and a sneak and a person who is filled with shame.

The answer was 'no' --- and I used that as motivation to find a way out of obesity.

Now, I repeatedly feed my body a healthy diet, and I exercise and get enough sleep and treat myself kindly.

Having someone help you out doesn't mean that you have failed, it just means you are not alone.
I think of this forum as reminding us we are not alone on this journey.
