My sucess is that... I fought off the little devil in me!

Today was a very tough day for me! The little devil in me kept wanting me to visit my old bad ways that got me to this obese stage in my life in the first place. I am fairly new to MFP and I have been soooooo proud of myself for being able to journal every day, excercise and to get control of my eating. I WAS a compulsive overeater. I ate for emotional reason not just because food tastes good. I am 47 years old and I have been battling my weight since I was 20 years old, I want this to be the time I will reach my all time goals!
Well, I have been dealing with a knee injury for 3 weeks now that feel like 3 months! My brain wants me to be active but my knee isn't letting me do much. I was feeling better last week and I was so proud of myself to be accmplishing my goal of moderation with my food and healthy food choices as well as adding exercise to my day. I have had a set back this past few days and have been in alot of pain which like I said isn't allowing me to do hardly anything. I was feeling soooooooo discouraged today that I almost gave in numerous times to the little devil telling me " Have an icecream or two or three! Find something sweet and you'll feel better."
Well, I am proud to say that I did have something to eat but it was all good choices AND I maintained my control. I logged on with my friends for encouragement and I had a successful day AND I am staying within my calories. I just wanted to share this all with you so that someday when YOUR having a bad day, remember me as I say. "This too shall pass and YOU are strong enough to make it to your goal!
