You know, one amazing thing we have here, is that although we are all on the journey to a healthier lifestyle, some of us are taking different routes. There is no ONE WAY to do this....what works for some, might not work for others. I'm glad that we are all able to come together to support & encourage eachother along!!

For me, I needed the accountability of WW. In my life, I have NEVER actually kept track of what I eat throughout the day. Call it living in denial, because maybe I didn't really want to know every single thing I ate during the day. Journaling & figuring out points makes me focus on what I'm eating and WHY I am eating (stress, boredom or hunger).

The main thing I struggle with is my emotional eating. The slightest thing can trigger my binges. But since I started WW, I am able to catch myself before I start to slide down that slope. Somedays are harder than others.

I know that I'm having to retrain my brain after 38 years on how I relate to food.
