Weight loss.........the struggle never ends. It may get easier for a while, or harder as the years go by. It may even go into hiding for a brief time – just long enough to lull you into a false sense of security that you’re finally free! Obesity will never trouble you again!
And theeeeen, you’re right back where you started on the scale – or worse, heavier than where you started – and wondering if you’ll ever get the upper hand again.
I hope this never happens to me. BUT this is a struggle I fight with! Yes it is easier from time to time....but that is when your guard gets down. Just remember when times get tough....the great saying....I personally think my Mom came up with, NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS THIN FEELS.......Really think about that. SOOO true. Nothing sucks more than extra weight ...choking you, even if it is a few pounds....they feel like a ton!
If you have not gotten to the point where you realize......ready for this? ~ you will fight this fight the rest of your life?....you need to get there! If you lose the weight, that is only half the battle(i don't even think it is half...anyway)you need to realize that heavy person will be your shadow following you....FOREVER!!! But, this is OK....she is just a daily reminder of what WAS....not is...nor hopefully EVER WILL BE AGAIN! You want to be healthy...not skinny. Do you remember that want....that feeling of wanting better for you , your family, your HEALTH!!..it is right behind the heavy shadow....yes, there it IS~ Hiding!
Actually more Mentally than physically weight loss will affect you!. Today is a new day.....move on ......move on!!!!
