A ten year battle.. but I think I’m winning

After many year of emotional eating and abusing my body with food I have to say I’m now in a good place. This photo compares my two years ago to today..

By no means is the war over but I like to think that the battles are going in my favour. I barely recognise the man in that first photograph so that’s got to be good right?

    So awesome!! While I’ve lost about 20 pounds & still have another 20ish pounds to go. I also finally feel like I can wear my problems lie and why I’m over weight! This is a mental battle way more then a physical one!

    yes I have been dealing with that also, the emotional aspect of overeating, I know now if I overeat I wont work my problems out, if I am unhappy what do I want, hey who knew it was not food? Food really distracts me because I can pretend a feeling doesn't exist. If I don't overeat I feel pain which is good and work on the problem. By the way, great work, losing weight is no easy task. I just lost 30 lbs and I know how hard it is but worth it.
