Its ME VS. ME

As each day of this journey goes by, I realize more and more that Im my own worst enemy as well as my biggest supporter. The ultimate sacrifice and reward will be in the daily decisions I make.
Will I choose that really yummy piece of cheesecake savorying every bite for the 5 min it would take me to devour it, along with the 5hrs of self loathing that would follow. Or will I choose to simply nourish my body as needed to reach my goal weight?! This seems like a easy decision for someone to make.
If that someone wasnt me......
I need to remind myself that living in those type of moments is what has robbed me of the moments I really desire. Time with my kids outside playing. Camping and hiking. Even reaching out to old friends to connect. I dont want them to see me like this. My self worth  has become wrapped up in what I see and not what others see. Yet in the past I continued to allow myself the momentary joy of food not really thinking about the things I was missing.
This is day 5 on TSFL, and I really feel different about it verses anything else Iv tried. My head is clear, my body is "talking" to me not so much by cravings but hunger. Its voice is becoming louder to me than the voice of desire that Iv heard in the past.
I just need to remind myself, that Im on my team and cheer myself on.
