This statement really resonated with me. That is EXACTLY what I said to my husband two years ago, when I weighed 295 pounds.
My husband replied: "Well, with that attitude, you're guaranteed to gain it all back!"
Oh, I was mad at him for saying that, but he was right.
I decided to try. To find things I could do for life. To make a commitment to myself. I'd never had "willpower" before on diets, but this time it seemed the difference was a long term focus -- to be healthier in the future. When a food came up that I wanted, rather than thinking I was giving up a food, I was reclaiming my life.
It's not easy, but it IS doable! I think the idea to get some help for some of the other issues is probably a good idea, too.
Welcome back!!!!
Hugs to you!
