Yes, that mental block is a big wall to break through! I'm doing just about the opposite than you -- lots of exercise, very little change in eating habits. I know that in time my eating habits will change and I'll really get to losing the weight big-time. But right now, I'm really happy just knowing that I'm getting healthier by exercising.

I actually have muscles in my arms, not just jiggles. I enjoy being able to do 275 ab exercises a day. I really like having the extra energy.

But I'm an emotional eater. And until I can get my mind around that and how to break that cycle I know I'll just be setting myself up to fail. I feel it will be soon -- maybe this summer. But I'm not going to let myself start this journey and not finish it. Not this time!

Good luck with your journey and blogging! I look forward to reading your posts.
