I've seen some posts lately about how hard it is to always be thinking about what food to eat. Always planning out your day and managing the junk food/health food balance. It definitely requires a lot of mental energy in our already busy lives. It's enough to make you want to quit. But, here's the thing...
Think back to when you were at your highest weight. Did you worry about your health? Did you stress over how you looked? Did you feel like a normal person trapped in a larger body? Did it affect your relationships, your confidence, your energy level, your motivation? I can say for myself that all of those things were a part of my daily life.
So, I realized something. Yes, I'm a food addict and I spend a certain amount of time each day giving myself mental pep talks. I plan out meals and I do worry about gaining weight. All of those things have become easier the longer I maintain my loss, but they're still there each day. But I would much rather that than the alternative. Giving myself the gift of control over my body has been life changing. I'm not returning that gift because it requires some effort.
Keep going. Do not lose perspective. It's worth it. I promise!
