    For those still struggling, slow it down. It isn't an example of your failures. It really is just another day. Don't see not binging as a punishment. See it as something you can overcome. The key thing is, DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP about what happens on that one day. It is just a day. You can overcome this. It you just don't quit, you will overcome it.

    It won't happen on some set time schedule. you don't have to wake up every morning with the soundtrack to Rocky playing in your head as you run to the gym and have your own last chance workout. Just get up, and do more than you did the day before while eating less. If you eat too much, then accept it, and move forward.

    THANK YOU SOOO much! I really needed to hear you today! Congratulations on you're amazing success. xoxo

    It's not so much those single days of indulgence. I'm all for stuffing my face on Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's the excess of food that is constantly around over the next few months. I'm scared of overdoing it on a day to day basis.

    If only everyone had this attitude there might be less faddy diets and yo yo dieters!

    reminds me of a quote...

    People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown

    Live, enjoy the day.. Carpe Diem

    I love this post Hoss and you know how much I love you and am so happy we have crossed paths and become friends.. I can relate to every word of this as I was also morbidly obese...the eating wasnt even for joy...it was medication to ease the feelings of failure for me anyway...I had no self worth no respect for myself.
    Its funny now I have found respect for myself and for the food...I can enjoy everything without disrespecting it or my body!
    We have come a long way Hoss!!! Congrats on digging so deep that you are changing your insides along with your outsides!!
    MWAH!!! Bravo my friend!!!
