Frustration

Trying to get healthy seems so unobtainable sometimes. Here is an excerpt from an email to a friend.

I have been doing only okay on food. I am PMSing so I have been ultra hungry this week, and not for veggies. I have not been going over board, though and am eating less even if I am not eating better. I am still having veggies at most meals. I have ramped up the exercise this week so that helps. I completely know what you mean by getting derailed. I think that is the number one reason I have stopped with the dieting. I get so frustrated because in the past seven years, I have extremely changed my diet for the better and have made exercise a permanent part of my life. I used to eat fast foods multiple times a week and thought that cheese, meat, fat, and sugar were the main food groups. I also rarely left the couch. Have I lost a significant amount of weight? NO!!!! Have I staved off disease? No, I know have hypothyroidism, diabetes, sleep apnea, am slightly anemic, and God only knows what else. Sometimes I wonder what it is all for. I question whether I will ever be able to achieve a healthy weight.
