Ht. 5'8", Start: 228 lb, Today: 186 lb, Goal: 175 lb - Ok, so i just first want to tell everyone that you all have been and inspiration and helped me so much for the past 4 months, just knowing that there are plenty of kids out there who are also going through the exact same things as me is comforting. Recently ive noticed that i had started to binge (only did it twice). It worried me because i didnt want it to become a habit. Losing weight is a learning process whether your trying to stop emotional eating, learning what to eat and what not to eat, learning portion control. Its all one big learning process that we have to get through day to day in order to be healthy. Basically, i forgave myself for my binges but i pledged that i would never do it again. So yesterday, I started a journal about my weight loss for my last 20-25 pounds that i want to lose because it gets harder and harder the closer you get to your goal weight. The most important lesson i have learned during this lifestlye change is learning to forgive myself. What are some of the lessons you have learned??
