Yes, I really enjoy cooking, too, but I do find that what I eat determines how hard it is for me to eat healthy, meaning that when I cut out the addictive foods and ingredients (sugar, flour, unhealthy fats, added sodium), then I have a Much Much easier time sticking to a healthy eating and exercise plan.

@Marna,

Thank you for your kind words! I agree that how you feel is definitely a very important factor in your success (weight loss or otherwise), and that feeling starts with your thoughts.

Staying excited and motivated is key! I would also add that keeping the feeling alive of feeling thin and fabulous is also a key piece.

I love how real and honest your blogs are!
