The Struggle is Real

The Struggle is Sooooo Real

I’m terrified.  Terrified, of all of the feelings that I will feel, once my coping mechanism of eating food is gone.  I have been trying for months, with little, to no success to get rid of this weight.  I’ve tried changing my eating habits, I’ve tried working out, I’ve tried meal replacement smoothies, I’ve tried increasing my water intake.  Fortunately I see positive results with all of these various methods, however, I have not been able to stick to any of them because whenever I decrease my eating, then my stress levels go through the roof.   Whenever I no longer use food to cope, all of the things that I’ve unknowingly been suppressing, are now coming up to the surface, and I start eating again to stop the pain.  I generally consider myself a happy person, but now I’m wondering if it’s all one big delusion.  I’m so afraid to find out, but I know that I have to because I can’t give those painful things over to God, if I don’t allow them to surface.  So I’m trying again.  I’ll never give up, because as I have mentioned before, failing is not an option . One good thing I have found in my research of various successful people is that they all appreciated the struggle they went through to get them to their success.   When God is in it, there is no limit.  Praise Away the Pounds. 

 I am thinking myself happy, no matter what.
