You are so right that emotional eating is a disorder. One that I still struggle with almost 3 years into maintaining my weight! It's a daily struggle and sometimes an hourly struggle, but I am doing it and I will keep it up! Just like you are and like you will also! Good for you! Keep it up! I am happy for you!

I had cut myself out of all family pics that included anything other than my face... and I had lost and regained so many times that I was unable to count them all... im hoping and praying that this time I can keep it off but the surgery is just a tool so I am still responsible for my choices... hardest struggle of my life. so glad you read and best of luck in your journey as well!!!amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536799160237838369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576330640760895614.post-70636666643909365572014-06-17T17:12:34.101-07:002014-06-17T17:12:34.101-07:00Amanda you are truly an inspiration. I lost 50 pou...Amanda you are truly an inspiration. I lost 50 pounds in 2007 because my weight was messing with my fertility. I kept the weight off, had a baby girl in 2009 and then proceeded to gain 70 pounds in my year of maternity leave (anti- depressants and entire tubs of strawberry ice cream were to blame). As I approach my 39th birthday I realize I can't physically keep up with my 5 year old and I don't have any pictures of me with my girl since she was born. So far I haven't been able to tap into the strength and energy I found to lose weight before. Reading your blog posts has inspired me to get off my butt and stop the pity party.Mimi's Humble Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425657983942537313noreply@blogger.com
