What has helped me stay on track

I actually had to incorporate my faith in my weight loss journey. A year and a half ago I was just so disgusted with myself and knew if I didn't make changes fast my life was in jeopardy. At 5'5 and was 305 lbs , I was depressed and miserable!
I finally made a promise to God that I would no longer eat sweets, fast food, chips and fried food. After trying a thousand times and failing I needed to make a promise I could not break.
Since I have made that promise, I have not had one day that I have struggled! I also started using myfitnesspal to help me keep track of my food choices.
I know many people will say it's my choices that caused my weight loss, yes but without my promise, I would have cheated again and again. I am at 217 now with another 70 lbs to go. But I know I can do it this time.
So.... that is my story
