It has been many years now

I have came at this body work on and off for years and years. I get gung ho and then for this or that slump back into the captivity I have tried to escape.
I have learned when I slump and allow it to terry all I am doing is allowing my captivity to remain. When oh when will I learn and stand against what is so harming my health and not say temptation....... got me. I need to commit to not touching any of the things that are just not needed in my nutrition. What will happen if I commit to not touching what I don't need? Each of us can answer this probably pretty close to the same answer. It is not just nutrition but this is one area I think needs to always be dealt with.
I have learned I can never give up for that would help me at all There have been times earlier in my life I thought just don't worry about it just live and eat. Well I can't just live and eat because I eat too much. This area needs to be given attention.
I have learned to be gentle with myself. Earlier when I felt I messed up I would mentally cast myself down which would only make me feel so miserable and keep me from getting a grip longer.
I have learned it doesn't make any difference what others think of my progress or lack there of.
I have learned NEVER GIVE UP!
