Reading other participant's blog posts has made realize we are facing the same struggles irrespective of whether we need to lose 100lbs or 10lbs. We speak each other's language and do the same things.
How many times have I insisted my kids eat healthy food while I'm pigging out secretly on junk? What about the $50 box of Godiva chocolate my boss gave me for Christmas? I hid it and ate it all by myself. I end up hating myself afterwards for not having self control or the ability to make it happen, to just knock 10lbs off and keep it off. How did I do it before?? How did I lose 45lbs after having my son? Lack of self control and excuses that are holding me back are the reason I am where I am today. I've paid for a personal trainer 3-4 sessions per week since May 2014, am fit and rock solid yet thanks to poor eating habits have a layer of fat covering my best parts up. Today is the day that comes to an end.
This is the first time I am sharing this journey with others and feel really blessed to be. We're all in the same boat, let's make this happen.
