Not a day goes by that I don’t think about my weight, food, or my health. When I wake up in the morning, my first thought is, what am I going to eat for breakfast? Anytime I am around food, I’m on a battle zone. It’s me vs. the food; what I want vs. what I should or should not have. I went to brunch today knowing that I shouldn’t go b/c I would be tempted w/ all the fried nasty stuff they have. I brought my own containers and brought back some food to my office which DID include 2 fruits, but also included chicken wings and hash browns.
I don’t seem to have any will-power. How does one obtain will power? Or is it something that’s within us? I’ve heard it helps to write things down, but I’m not usually too consistent. Would anyone mind if I posted what I eat and then ya’ll can make suggestions maybe? I wouldn’t do it every day, but maybe 2 or 3 times a week. What do you think?
I MUST make eating healthy & exercise a priority! I have only been gaining weight lately, not losing. In this case, I want to be a loser!!!! ;)
Thank you all for your support & prayers! You’re the best!

That sounds like a good plan! I look forward to helping keep you accountable.
My willpower comes and goes. Lately it's been totally gone. It depends on the stressors hitting me during the day. My biggest hurdle is that I feel like food is my comfort when I'm feeling overworked. I tell myself I deserve to indulge since I've been working so hard. I also think my upbringing contributed to this false idea. My mom always included special foods with our family celebrations.
We've got to override these brains of ours! God grant us power over our flesh!
