do you ever feel like it will be an on going battle for the rest of your life?? lose weight, gain it back, lose weight, gain it back...... i have family members (dad, aunt, gramma, cousins) who spent their entire life doing this and i cant seem to break the cycle. it all seems like it should be so simple: eat right & exercise. sometimes i think i should just stay heavy , accept it and quit trying (but thats not what i really want) grrrrrr!

My mom has battled weight practically her whole life. She'd lose a decent amount, then gain it back. The thing is (and this is what I'm learning), you can't diet. It has to be a lifestyle change. If you lose weight and continue making healthy choices, you can find balance and maintain a healthy weight. That is my goal once I drop these 40 extra lbs. Good Luck!0

Totally understand. My entire family is overweight or obese. The difference is I've seen the damage it's done to them and the lost years of life and I refuse to give up one second. Yes it's a battle tracking what I eat and not eating some of the things I think I want. It sucks getting up at 4:45 every morning to work out but you know what? When I work out, I sleep better and generally feel better for the entire day. My clothes fit and I'll be around when my kids have kids and I'd rather be around setting a good example than be the too fat to do anything grandpa.0
