Well that attempt lasted a good 3 days.  I'm not gonna lie:  that's longer than usual.  And guess what, it only took me 11 days for me to hop back on.  That is MUCH better than normal.

I usually get into a spiral of shame and disgust at myself that I can't even control myself for more than a couple of days - if that.  We're lucky if my stamina for healthy eating lasts more than a meal.  "Why even try?" I ask myself.  "You're just going to fail.  You hate vegetables, and that'll never change.  You love chocolate, and that will NEVER change.  Are you really ready to live a life without joy and sugar satisfaction?  They are such a part of your life and have been since infancy, there's no way you can adjust your taste buds."  And on and on and on and on.  A wise man once said that one of Satan's favorite phrases is that it's not worth it to try to be better again.  You've screwed up too many times, and repentance isn't possible anymore.  And really, isn't that what I'm doing?  I'm repenting of the abuse I've given my body all these years by overeating and eating poorly.

So I'm back in the saddle again!  Except that I'm afraid of horses.  Huh - that's probably a pretty apt analogy, then.  I'm gonna get bucked again, I KNOW IT.  But I'll dust the dirt off my fat-girl exercise pants and hop back on again.  So here we go:
