Jill, although we don't actually talk personally, I always read your posts and I swear that you are my soul sister. You'll post about things that I seem to be going through at the exact same time. And your thought pattern is so much like mine. I seem to be losing and re-gaining weight over and over. I'll lose some weight and seem to be doing good and then the binges start (and when I binge, I
binge) and I have no reason as to WHY I do it. It is so annoying. And I think about how I actually weighed LESS this time last year and when I think about how much I could have lost by now if I would have just stuck with it, it makes me want to vomit. I get so pissed at myself. But you know Meg said something in a post one day that has really got me thinking. I believe she was talking about meeting her first year anniversary of beginning her weight loss and healthy journey and well I don't remember what day it falls on but let's say June 1st for arguments sake. She said it would have been June 1st whether she lost the weight or not. And that thought has been in my head ever since. I just keep thinking that time will continue to go on whether I lose the weight or not, whether I eat healthy or not, whether I exercise or not. And now I'm at this time at my life where I'm 27 years old, my daughter is growing up right before my eyes and here I am just letting time slip by without taking control of my life. Okay, now I'm rambling and this has become about me. My bad.
My point is, that I know that you can do this. And I know that I can do this. We've done it before. I've seen you give out great advice. Shoot, I could write a book about successful weight loss although I've never done it. We have it inside of us to do. I don't if we're scared or what. That may be a huge part of it really: just plain ole fear. But if we set ourselves up for success, we can achieve it. I know we can.
