Today marks one year that I have been trying to take off some weight. Of course it has been a lifelong struggle so this is just the first anniversary of the millionth attempt! But I am determined this will be the time that the scales never go back up. Previous attempts have been attacked like running a sprint, but I've come to realize I'm running a marathon. One year ago I was 260, today 221, only 39 pounds in a years time, but I am not discouraged because it is not enough, but rather encouraged because I have kept the course. Perhaps the change in attitude is because I am no longer motivated by a desire to look better, but rather by a desire to feel better. I am still striving to convince myself that we should eat to live rather than live to eat.
