I have tried everything, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, South Beach and self control. Nothing seemed to work. Then I joined a community walk/run group. How awesome was that. They were very supportive. I met new people and I became very devoted. I began particiapting in 5k, 10k, and 13.1 runs. After four months of the program, I got to the point that I would run independently and was self motivated. Then the aches and pains began to plague me. I was proactive and sought treatment. Great! I was back on track. Now a year later, I have an injury that has competely sidelined me. My weight is back on and the thought of starting over is very discouraging. So, I decided to feel sorry myself and eat whatever I wanted. The problem is, I remember how it felt to be smaller and now I so uncomfortable being this heavy again. I am excited about the memory recall, but upset by my limitations. So what am I going to do. I have begun developing a plan for when I amno longer restricted. I have begun limiting my intake and making small changes, because I want to not because I have to. I didn't realize how great it would feel to document this, but man have I just inspired myself. So to anyone that reads this. HANG IN THERE!!!!!!!
