I struggled, too. But it's a tool to help you with your struggle. I had a fast loss of 90 pounds, I was diligent about eating right, and then after nearly a year I started eating sweets. It made me feel kind of sick, so I didn't do it a lot, but it slowed down the weight loss.
I played around, lost and regained the same 20 pounds for a couple of years, then lost 20 more, regained it, etc. Finally in 2018 I started losing again and it took a while, but I lost another 65 pounds.
Every day is a choice. Sometimes I choose to indulge in some food I love, but now I can get back on track. I think the most helpful thing I've learned is that it is possible to change, even after goofing up, having setbacks, reverting to my old way of thinking, and trying to accept less than I was capable of.
We are all works in progress, all the way to the end. So there is always a new day to start over. Forgive yourself for not being perfect. Be proud of yourself for trying, and really proud every time you succeed. If nobody tells you you're doing great, tell yourself. I'm telling you right now - you're doing great by wanting to help yourself. You'll have better health, more confidence, and nicer clothes!!
Way to go!! The best to you!
