Even after a large amount of weight lost I still struggle
constantly. Every day I have to make choices to stay healthy. HARD
CHOICES! I love my new job however there
are always opportunities to be tempted by food that makes me salivate and want
to cheat. I don’t deprive myself by any means because what I know about myself
is if I don’t allow myself to eat some treats I will crave them and then eat too
many. Then I feel terrible about myself and that is just flat out
counterproductive. I LOVE SWEETS. That is my biggest struggle. There are always
donuts, cake, casseroles and so many other temptations available. I have to
have just a little slice of cake or just a taste. I remind myself often how
very hard I worked to get to where I am right now. It was a struggle but so
worth it. I have changed my lifestyle and I intend to keep it that way.
However, it is so difficult but I have a lot of strength and I want to continue
to live a happy healthy life.
