Not only was your post very inspirational, but very very true.
This was the real year that everything has clicked for me... I've slowly been losing weight over the past few years, but this year, I really got "it". That this isn't a diet. This is just life. I have more good days than bad. When I have an off day, it's usually planned, and I know what to do to keep my weight in check. And it's NOT A DIET...just all the lessons I've learned along the way, now in fruition.
Looking back on all the setbacks and hurdles, I'm so grateful for them! It's the ONLY way you can ever learn!!! Without mistakes, there is no lesson learned, no way to improve.
And lol, now I can go out for dinners with friends, go to parties, etc... and not have a panic attack that I'll gain 40 pounds. Just means eating lighter the next day and maybe an extra mile on the treadmill
Again, thank you for the post!
