What I've learned so far from doing this challenge is that I can not try to be perfect anymore. I haven't changed my eating for this much at all...I tried to be super perfect with the alcohol and popcorn at first and I started obsessing over it.  It puts my head into places it shouldn't go.  I am happy eating well most of the time, and indulging in a few things I really enjoy.      I've also learned that I do, in fact, eat well most of the time.  And even though I have a diet that is considered really good by most people, and try to work out 4-5 hours a week, and sleep well...I still have extra weight.  And I need to keep focusing on the habits themselves, and doing what is good for me, even if the scale never seems to move anymore.  It's the least I can do for my body after all the shit I've put it through.  One day it might be fully recovered and at a place where it trusts me enough to let go of the extra weight.  or it might not.  I'm wrapping my head around that and learning to be comfortable with it.
