I find the biggest challenge is that I change mental state between the time I decide to mange my weight (all pumped up and it´s going fine) and the mental state I´m in when I decide to eat too much (tired and fearful). It´s like two different people. I have had this two sides of the story my hole life and I think it´s gonna stay that way, little by little I find the two can agree and I´m happy for every step in the positive direction. I lost 25 kg a few years ago and put back 14 kg back on in 3 yrs. Most of it the last year.
I know I can´t beat the eating side of me. I need to coexist with it in a way that is healty. I want to make friends with it. Oh dear, I sight and wonder if it is possible... Feeling a little discuraged but also glad to see things from a rational perspective instead of rushing off just thinking I never have a problem again with weight and this time I will do it for the last time (done that over and over agan since early teentears).
I´m entering this challenge wiht utter most humility.
Take care all and may our cookiemonsters find their healthy expression in our lifes!
