The one thing that I discovered when I first started to do this was that I have a very strong emotional connection to food (I know…it’s a shocking revelation – If my life was a reality show, I can just hear the dramatic music in the background). I’ve been working in the Gym (mainly because I’m scared of my trainer Dan) but I’ve been having a really hard time controlling my food intake.

Some days I’ll just go crazy. But thanks to some work that I’ve been doing with a local therapist I’m ready to really buckle down and make some serious progress.

I had a nice revelation the other day. All my life I’ve felt powerless over my weight. I’ve always felt that I don’t have the strength to make changes in my life. But, I realized that I do have the strength inside of me to make changes. It’s not too late to change, and although it will be hard, I can do this.

Small changes, added together can make for some dramatic weight loss.

I’m just taking it one day at a time.
