Today it hit me, right between the eyes! I'm not starting over, I'm just continuing on from a very long streak of bad choices. I can't get bac… Continue

Although I've not posted or commented much lately, I've been here-silently reading posts, looking for inspiration. I've struggled all summer long and I think I've figured out why after rereading old posts. I started this journey focused on being HEALTHY and got distracted by LOSING WEIGHT.

When I focus on losing weight, I tend to eat ju… Continue
