I feel like I just need to accept that I am going to be overweight and unhealthy for the rest of my life. I did lose 75 lbs after my daughter was born 3 years ago (from the time she was born, to just about her first birthday) but now I am stuck at 30lbs overweight because I then started bingeing and overeating.
Just needed to vent, I'm sure a lot of other people are in the same boat as me  Do I just need to accept myself the way I am? |
I've tried to accept my attraction/relationship with food as a life-long war that's fought in battles. Some battles are won, others are lost. It is the culmination of these battles that define this part of our personality.
You can stand and fight it, knowing it'll never end, and be proud you have the strength to fight the good fight and possibly win the war. 75 pounds lost is amazing (I've lost 120+, so I know the strength it takes....), so I, and many others, believe in you. You've proven you have the strength to take action....so do it and continue to inspire others.
And if you find a way to fix this, let me know. I wanna read your war journal and learn the way!
