Q. What was your biggest struggle? A. Struggles: 1. Being a single mom it was hard to shop for one month at a time and keep it healthy. 2. Having diabetes and a thyroid issue adds to the weight issue. It's like I had to work twice as hard to get any results. 3. Being patient in the process, and knowing it's not going to happen overnight. It is discouraging to not see it fall off rapidly. I had to re-educate myself about proper dieting etc. 4. Comfort foods!! Feeling bummed out when I felt like I hadn't made any progress. It made me want to make a huge rice and mushroom soup caserole covered in cheese, and the bad part was, I would eat the whole casserole. I used food all the time for comfort. 5. Learning my food triggers, and stopping to assess food cravings. 6. Learning to forgive myself and move on after a cheat instead of sabotaging the whole thing because it felt safer to remain where I was instead of doing the "work". This is an ongoing struggle, finding my self worth and keeping "my why" in focus to keep working at it. More...
