past, present and future


I have been doing some reflecting as you can tell by the photos that are within this post. I have been looking back at my old photo's and telling myself that I have come a long ways in 17 months. Starting out at 239 pounds and a size 22 pushing 24 to now 173 pounds and size 12 for a total of 66 pounds :) What a change, what a difference this challenge has made for me with how I look on the outside and on the inside. There are days that I feel like the old me until I look into the mirror and see the new me looking back. There are days that I feel as if I am failing because I am not on track I have lost my focus on the big picture and I don't know what my true goal is anymore besides being thinner and healthier. What is the true underlining factor that makes me a food addict? This is the BIGGEST question of all that I must answer. I do know I am not the only one out there struggling with food. I know my friends have problems with food as well but what is there underlining reason for over eating? Food is an addiction an addiction that you must feed everyday in order to stay alive. But what is my balance between what I need to stay alive and then the over eating? This is what I must find out and fix in order for me to move on, to reach my goal and stay at my goal I need to fix the internal problem or else is will make me fail and start all over again. I am scared that I may never be able to reach my goal weight because I do not know to find the answers to these questions. So I am starting a quest to find the true inner me for a healthier me.


I must say that I am so Thankful to Weight Watchers for getting me to where I am today.
