The tip of the iceberg; it takes a lot of attention, time, and energy to transform to living a lifestyle centered around wellness, but it is worth it beyond what I can express. It is really a joy! However, the struggles do not just disappear at the arrival of goal weight; but repeatedly choosing the healthier option begins to build positive momentum until the healthy choices are what truly feel right. Once I began being aware of my emotional eating, I took serious note as to how I felt after every binge, and that became strong motivation in deciding which team I was playing for. I in no way, shape or form, want to reinforce the negative aspects of my life, but rather affirm all that is positive.

Boredom and avoidance. Getting better at recognizing it though.

I get angry and want to get even the way to do it is by using food to weigh more and look less attractive. I think I'll show you - and I do but i am the one paying the consequences

Well said Jeanne!
