My battle is mines alone... the struggle is inside. If it was just trying to lose the weight, that would be fine, however I have to dig deep inside to make sure that the issues which brought me to this weight are resolved, otherwise the hard work I'm doing now will be undone by one situation or other life stressor. I am an emotional eater. Mostly hate the fact I have allowed myself to get so far off track but you know what? Each day is an opportunity to continue to fight -- my fitness battle won't be easy but I can do it. It's every day at a time. In my mind, I have to change old ways and deal with stressors by not allowing food to be the prize every time I get stressed, or not feel good. Instead, these days I pick up my weights, resistance bands, or slide in a fitness dvd. No matter who you are if you don't address the inside battle, the outside won't be won for long! I'd be damn if I don't be the cataylst for change in my own life. It is up to me to do this and no one else. No one's fault. I see a long journey ahead but so far I'm hanging in there and I suggest you do the same! Have a healthy and fitful day!
