Often times I try to remember why I decided to take this journey. Then I remember that I was on a fast track to killing myself. Although I was morbidly obese I never had any health issues or scares. But how long would that have lasted? I knew that I was not going to make it if I kept eating my life away.
My kids coming into my life was the deciding factor. I had to live for me...but more importantly I had to live for them. I choose to live and I'm glad I made that choice.
I say all this to say...that since my band is empty I have been eating like the old me. The me who didn't care. The me who didn't know when to stop. It is such a slippery slope and easy to go back to the way I was.
I refuse to be that person again. I refuse to give up. I choose to live...now it's time I did just that...live. I'm taking back my health...one bite at a time.
Exercise...no problem...eating...national disaster.
It isn't easy...but I will never give up...every time I fall...I will stand back up...and keep moving forward.
I hope you do the same.

so true...I can be point on with my exercise but dang it my food inhalation can cause me to derail!
it's hard to stay focused and remember when the journey is forever and no end in site. it's hard but worth it. Like you said take it one bite at time!
Food is a pain in the ass! I wish I could live on air and quit food cold turkey. Keep picking yourself up - I seem to be doing the same thing over and over but at least we are recognizing there is a problem and trying to stop it! you can do this!
I really wish I could exercise all the calories away because I think then I'd be golden. The food trips me up every.single.time. You can do this!
