This Isn't Easy...BUT
I am back on my plan, working hard. I mean that. It is all hard work.
My diet works for me. It may not work for everyone, but it is do-able, even if it isn't what I would love to be doing, like eating what ever I want.
I can't tell you how many times I have taken my girls out for a special treat lunch after church, or just anytime, and ordered nothing for myself. I can't tell you how many times I have walked past that bag of kettle cooked potato chips sitting in the kitchen and thought about how much I want one. You get the point. I am giving up things I want.
I exercise now 6 days a week, even if it is just a little each day. I have a great set of exercise goals for myself that I find also very do-able, and very beneficial.
I exercise even though sometimes it kills me. My legs hurt. My butt hurts. Everything hurts, but I do it.
Losing weight isn't easy. It is a choice. Getting in shape isn't overnight. It is a daily act. If everything were instant and easy, there would be no multi-million dollar weight loss industry. It is however, do-able and that is what matters. I could have had surgery to make this happen, it was even suggested by a DR, but I chose my own do-able way. I will keep going. The scale will keep moving. I know this will be a long time struggle, but even if I don';t win each battle, I will win this war, on my own, slow and steady, because it really is do-able.
