Struggling

Its been over a month since I've posted. I got busy and honestly I've been in a funk. I got really busy, tired, and honestly just lacked any motivation. The funk I was in led to weight gain. Thankfully though, a monthish later, I'm back to the good weight I was at. Still a long way from my initial goal, but now that my busy-ness is slowing down, I hope to get back on track.
This is hard. Whoever says it isn't, is lying.  I think harder for someone who has struggled with it most of their life. I will always battle these thoughts about myself. I have to stop listening to the negativity in my own head and just keep moving and doing the best I can. I do want this for myself, but I don't want it to consume me. That's the fastest way for me to burn out.
I guess as always moderation is key. I will eat low-carb when I can and portion control when I have self control. I will enjoy the cake (or ice cream or Mexican food 😄). Need to get back to walking, too. Being busy and heat are my exercise nemeses.
I will need continued help from God and encouragement from friends.
I can do this, but as I told  a student at graduation, it may take longer and be a bigger challenge, but in the end the effort will be worth it!
