The prodigal daughter returns...will she stay or will she quit?!!I joined FS in 2008, and since then went from my highest weight of 180 to gradually, with lots of highs and lows, went down to my lowest yet to 136 or so by Sep. 15th, 2010. The longest time I ever stuck to a way of life (all the cheats along the way, notwithstanding!), but I also made the best of friends along the way and discovered how I can actually do things that actually work for me!
Along the way, I endured my hardest and stressful times such as my tenure and promotion and more recently, my sister's wedding! I feel good that I made goals and managed to see them come true. In the net result, that's a lot of progress.
However, to my chagrin, I discover that it ain't over till it's over! Despite the successes and discoveries along the way, I'm still as vulnerable as ever! I still have the same addictions, the same ways of thinking, and the same way of life that gained me all the weight in the first place!!! So what's the moral of the story? That weight loss is always going to be a journey of self-discovery ? A challange and a need for constant vigil?! Perhaps. Or does it mean I'm beyond help? Hope not!
Well, let's focus on the positive. I do have proof that it works. That I can actually do it. That I have it in me. Let the pics speak for themselves.
