What a great saying! Stick with it and you will get there.

@lorrainequiche59 Great for you to push through and realize food was not the answer! You are doing great and should be proud of yourself. I hope the comment was merely ignorant and not intentionally mean. We do not need that on this thread. We should be here to lift each other up. Our health and well being is the priority.

Just to clarify the comment did not come from anyone here, and it was just from ignorance. Still it triggered me due to the sensitive subject matter and when people ridicule what causes others so much pain it sends me into a bit of a tailspin until I process all that. It was a different group & it was disappointing to me that people can be so insensitive.

Switching my check-in to Friday, so ..

It takes time to incorporate new habits to replace the not-so-healthy habits. Consistency is one of my goals...just being consistent. I think that decades of "dieting" has resulted in a mindset for me of quick weight loss and then back to the same ol' unhealthy eating patterns that got me wanting to diet in the first place....AND what I have learned through all of that back & forth is this: DIETS DO NOT WORK!!!! What diets have done for me in the past is set me up to restrict and then binge and cycle over & over. Dieting and trying to reach some unrealistic ideal has also set me up for some significantly negative body image issues. I'm done with all of that.

There are no "good/bad" foods...there are only choices we can make as to which food we choose to eat and how much we choose to eat and then listen to our body as to how our choices affect us. We can also choose what we say to ourselves about our bodies exactly as they are right here, right now. What are the messages we send ourselves...are they loving, kind and accepting OR are they negative, critical and condemning? Food for thought!

Here's to another healthy eating day making choices that will help me feel good in my skin exactly as I am right here, right now!!

May we all work at loving ourselves a little bit more this day.

I hiked 9 miles yesterday. Still struggling to get out of the 180's...

Coloring, playing games on my phone, taking a walk, calling a friend, writing in my journal!! Anything I can!! I am an emotional eater bored eater and a foodie!! Struggle is real!!

Ten days into January is when a lot of resolutions go out the window. Hang in there, Friends! We are doing this for our health! The past week has made anyone that resolved not to drink, smoke, overeat, etc., truly difficult. If you've overindulged, just get back in the saddle. Tomorrow is a new day.
