Thanks for all the replies. I’m very motivated and feel great. I just got home from fishing (2nd day in a row to get in this late) and I am watching some TV. A month ago before I started trying to eat right at all there is no way I could have worked all day, fished all evening and had the energy to do anything but crawl in bed. Something “clicked” with my body yesterday after posting about not feeling good after eating and I’ve felt great since. I know it sounds simple to most of you folks but being in the downward spiral of feeling bad and eating bad just compounds on itself. You get to a point where you’re miserable both in the way you feel and the way you think. I haven’t felt this good, mentally or physically since I can remember. I have a VERY addictive personality. I have been addicted to food all my life. Now I’m gonna try to swap one addiction to another. Being healthy. I haven’t skipped a meal in decades and I haven’t eaten supper in the past 3-4 days. I know that’s small stuff but it’s been a big deal for my confidence. Now I know I can do this.

RH your story has been great motivation to me.

I’m going to keep posting on this thread all year. If I stop posting that means I’ve quit. I want somebody to come whip the piss out of me.
