Hi, everyone:

I download and print many inspirational posts from Pam for future reference and inspiration.

This morning, I happened to read a post from Pam dated February 3, 2013. It was one of her most motivational posts. She spoke about trying to climb a sand dune to get to her car and go home from the beach. For every three steps, she slid down one. But, she never gave up and focused on her progress and ignored her setbacks. Over the past few days, I have had some emotional setbacks and have turned to food to relieve them. But, I know this is a process.

I cannot reverse six decades of mindless eating and an altered relationship with food in just a few days. So, I just keep going. Like Pam, I need to get to my car!!
