The Truth of obesity is this the battle is never over. Just because you may loose weight and get down to where you are happy that is awesome but that is only half the battle the other half is maintaining it. I think we too often forget the battle isn't over when we are thin the real battle is keeping it there. Because we are only a few wrong choices and we can start balooning up again. I seen too often people say they beat obesity. Well they may have gotten the weight down and the food to a reasonable level. But stay there takes diligence. Because like any other addiction it is so easy to reawken that beast bring back the food and behavior that led us to obesity in the first place. One of the most profound things I learned on my journey battling obesity is that I will never be able to safely eat certain foods because once I do I don't want to stop. If your a food additict like me I would highly recommend taking that stance. Realizing that no matter what your weight is or how long you have been "good" for your never going to be successful going back to those foods that you are addicted to. Just like there is no reason for an alcoholic to ever drink again the same is when your a food additict.
The big truth of addiction is no amount of time absent is going to change that your addtic. So in this case food should you ever decide to indulge again the bad foods you will quickly find yourself unable to stop. That won't change. So it is a lie to tell yourself I have been good it will be ok just this once. That is a lie. I am an alcoholic sober as well a really long time like almost 18 years and I know even with that amount of time sober I could not safely take alcohol again. I would be right back to where I was should I pick up again and the same is with food for me.
This is why the truth of obesity is the battle is never over. Because for people like me the battle is in our head more than on our table. It is our attitude and perceptions tward food that is our major enemy not the calories we consume.
Also for weight loss for people like us to be perement and effective it has come from a deep place inside of us. Not just wanting to fit into a pair of clothes or look better. It has to come from place of knowing for us to continue down this road is going to kill us. We have to know and be willing to do what ever it takes. To make it. It is not easy but this is the the truth people like us face.b
