So here it is.......as much trauma this causes me, it is also cleansing, being honest about the person I am, but also the changes I am making. Back in November was when I started seeking out a way that would work for me to get healthy. I posted my weight and goals here. At that point I was 274. Went through the holidays, another relationship (ended in February) and at some point I managed to hit 279, my highest. One week ago, when I started abstinence, I was at 272. Today, much happier and more motivated than ever, I am at 267. In one week I have lost 5lbs. Amazing enough my workout time has been cut in half. It truly has been the food. Overall, I have lost 12 lbs. I can handle that.
Great work out today. Awake before my alarm went off, I still don't fly out of bed to hit the gym that early. However, I love the way I feel after. So I pull myself from my warm snuggly bed and trudge off to the gym. Never once have I regretted a workout.
So, like we say at the end of OA.......
Keep coming back, it works.

Good for you! I love to work out, but there is truth in what you are saying. There are varying statistics out there, but I think the average adage is that while exercise can provide a small cushion, diet is 80 percent of the battle. (Especially for folks like us who are genetically predisposed to have a battle.) Once again, I can only recommend the book: Woman, Food, God. I think it is a great thing to read when reevaluating dietary practices.
