It also means that those voices may never truly be gone, but they can go into permanent remission, if managed daily. I have a friend who cannot eat all kinds of things. When our work team goes out for lunch, she almost always ends up sending things back because they gave her something that could cause a serious allergic reaction. But she just manages the situation every day. That's what I need to do. We are always going to be predisposed to weight gain. But we don't have to always (or ever) give in.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888756691880720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245684570480082037.post-83387629550179275362012-05-16T07:44:15.538-07:002012-05-16T07:44:15.538-07:00Sometimes it's hard to get that mojo back.

It's a difficult thing to overcome and for me I think it will always be lurking in the shadows ready to come out and take over if I let.

All the dozens of times over the ten years I was obese, every time I said, "I'm going to start working out," or "I'm going to do weight watchers/start a diet/etc"...it never happened...or it happened for like...three days. The day I really changed everything took me by surprise. I hadn't been dwelling on my weight or had a specific experience like a comment from someone or a pair of jeans not zipping up...I was ten years into being 200+ lbs and for the most part just said, this is what I am. But in one moment, for whatever reason, I looked down at myself and said, this is NOT what I'm supposed to be -- and that was the turning point. All the false starts and half-hearted New Year's resolutions and Mondays and after the holiday and tomorrow-plans never stuck -- I guess because I really *wasn't* ready. You've read how frustrated and baffled I get by the "trainwrecks" and their constant backsliding, justifications, "I'm not defined by my weight," etc...part of me knows they're just NOT READY YET. Maybe different things are holding them back than whatever it was holding me back (because I still don't know WHAT held me back for so long) but one day, one moment, it just clicked and I started and never stopped. It might be that way for you, too. Good to see you back, in any event!Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11949876371473945014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245684570480082037.post-2955984291789703982012-05-14T21:33:45.163-07:002012-05-14T21:33:45.163-07:00It is almost two years for me with this FINAL weig...It is almost two years for me with this FINAL weight loss adventure. Still plugging along. I was thinking about food, and a line similar to yours "It's just food" on my bike the other day. That is a profoundly simple adage. It. is. just. food.<br /><br />You have had your share of curve balls this past year. I know you will never give up. Never. Neither will I. No matter what is thrown our way. <br /><br />Stay strong. I hope this week is better for you and your family.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16422138891797605472noreply@blogger.com
