Anyone who has known me for a number of years knows that my weight has fluctuated many, many times since my days in elementary school. I am either a fairly competitive athlete playing basketball or training for a marathon or triathlon...OR I am overweight and really mad at myself for being that way. Somewhere in the middle is where I want to be...and that, for me, is HARD.
This has been a life long struggle for me and it runs pretty deep. It dominates my thoughts most of the time and it is just plain annoying. During the past 6 months I've been really trying to dig deeper into why I struggle with this so much. With the help of several books on a variety of overeating/mindless eating/emotional eating topics I have a fairly good handle on the WHY.
It is the next step that is a bitch. The CHANGING of the behavior. I have found some really great strategies that I feel could be the thing that "cures me" and they usually last about 2-4 weeks and then I fall back into old habits, get really mad at myself and then start searching again for the next "answer."
I write this here so that I have a place to be accountable to some of my efforts... I also plan to share some of the resources I have found to be helpful.
The Journey continues...
