So today I was watching one of those weight loss shows for the super obese, and started thinking, if this 433 pound girl can lose over 200 pounds in a year, I can lose a measly 40 pounds. Then I started thinking, out of all the attempts that I have made, why have I failed? Is it because I don't have some workout master to push me everyday? Because I don't have a personal chef to make me healthy meals? No, it's because of me and only me. I like to blame my husband, who can lose 10 pounds thinking about it, for enabling the horrible eating habits, and attributing to my laziness. But it's not his fault, oh no, it's all mine. Since we are both in the military, we are gone a lot, and I am often left alone with two busy children that demand all my attention and energy. I eat emotionally, and a lot. I eat because I am happy, sad, lonely, and bored. I have done this noticeably for the past 8 years. So my daily struggle is to control my emotional eating and get serious about my health. What's your daily struggle?
Gal you know I have THE SAME struggle. I eat just to eat, I eat because Im sad, I eat because Im happy, I eat because it looks good, I eat because it smells good, I eat because everyone else is. Basically I EAT! Im on the journey with you! Lets walk...cause you know I dont run!
