I have tried so many times it's crazy! Of course, I can attribute that to repeatedly trying the same strategy over and over, although it wasn't working.
Just recently I did a lot of research on the current ideas surrounding health and it changed my whole thought process regarding food.
However, I spent a few months in a rut. I was still researching and learning but ultimately kept putting off any big changes, although I wasn't happy with where I was at. Eventually the scale reached almost 300lbs and that's when I kind of woke up and said, what the heck, I know what I need to do so why aren't I doing it?
And now I'm doing better than I ever have!
I've been trying not to worry too much about 'failing'. I can't say I haven't been worried during the past few months about this being another 'try and fail', but it hasn't happened yet and I don't see it happening in the future.
It's already been longer than any other attempts in the past few years, so I'm pretty sure I'm onto something, and eventually things do become habit.
