Matthew,

One thing i've learned lately is be easy on yourself.. Reshaping your whole attitude and frame of thinking towards better health is very difficult..The things we're used to eating and drinking and the people around us makes it hard to break out of bad habits.. Falling off the wagon will happen sometimes and as long as you are recognizing and wanting change, that's the first and hardest step .. And admitting our wrong choices and dealing with our own inner demons about it sometimes is so difficult..But you really are on your way.. It's a gradual process getting yourself to the point you are ready to just go at it full force..

i'm proud of you for recognizing the things that you eat and drink and for the changes you want to make, and believe in you much like the others here in this thread do..

i keep coming back here too, because everyone here is going through a similar journey and it's so motivating.. if you need a buddy i'm here for you too, because this journey is also new to me and there are good days/difficult days, i can use the buddy system myself.. it's nice to have a few buddy systems going, so there is always someplace to turn.. And you know where to find me.

Keep it up my friend, you're doing great. But just remember to be easy on yourself, and just keep jumping back ON the wagon, because for everytime you fall off, its all the moments you hang on that count!
