You really can do it!
It's seems so simple really...... Nike's trademark phrase... "JUST DO IT!" Change occurs as a result of DOING it... making the change.... making a different choice! To this day, there are times when I think about bingeing like I used to. There are times when I'm overwhelmed with life and desire to turn to food for comfort like I did for 20+ years. The difference between now and then is that I STOP, and think about the choice before I make it. I weigh the pros and cons of my desire to binge. I instantly think about how terrible I am going to feel and how my clothes will INSTANTLY feel tight. I HATE wearing clothes that are too tight!! I think about my daughter who reveals her hidden thoughts here and there in random conversation. "Mom, I used to be embarassed when you'd pick me up from school because you were fat." I think about my husband who compliments me on a daily basis - usually multiple times in one day. I think of all of those things now... I think of the consequences of my choices instead of numbing myself with food. I STOP, I think, I choose!
If you're at a point in your life where you're feeling helpless, remember that you are NOT helpless. You are a choice away from change. You're a choice away from living the life you've always wanted. The choice is hard, YES, YES it is..... but I promise you with everything in me that the choice is 100% worth it!!!!
YOU ARE WORTH IT - so just do it already!!! You'll be so glad you did!!
