The Weight Loss Odyssey - Here's To The Future You.

Today was definitely challenging. The struggles of weight loss can be overwhelming at times. It often feels like a constant battle, with my weight fluctuating up and down like a seesaw. I know I'm not alone in this journey, as many others experience similar challenges.

Reflecting back, I've been on this journey for quite a while. I've seen my weight soar to over 300 lbs and then drop to 185 lbs. It's been a rollercoaster ride, to say the least.

When I first came to college years ago, I was around 135 lbs. However, over time, my relationship with food changed drastically. Food became more than just sustenance; it became a source of comfort, celebration, and even stress relief. I lived to eat, not realizing the importance of eating to live.

Emotional eating, comfort eating, stress eating—these were all part of my routine. Food was always there, non-judgmental and understanding. But today was different. I felt the urge to eat, not out of emotional need but simply because I wanted to.

Despite my occasional indulgences, I've learned not to dwell in the cycle of overeating. I acknowledge the feeling, indulge moderately, and then refocus on my goals. Failure isn't a setback; it's a lesson that propels us toward success.
