My overall progress has in fact been good.  Although, I have a habit of cheating-no longer referring to it as sabotaging myself, I am still ahead of the game.  Mainly because I have been diligent about working out.  I have made it my business to work out every day and have continued that “habit” each day.  I find myself stronger and in more control.  I walked for ten miles on Saturday and four miles on Sunday and I am in relatively good shape.  I am also more mindful about what I am eating.  I am avoiding any and all foods that are basically bad such as chips or processed foods.  I have also learned portion control which had been a serious problem for me.
