I hope to have met goal in 9 months and be healthier and wiser and have learned my lessons on how to eat healthier for the rest of my life.

This struck me HARD. I am SO much healthier and wiser in how I feel physically, in what the numbers say at the doctor's office, and how I feel mentally. I finally (FINALLY!!) understand what a healthy, sustainable diet looks like. I finally know how to make good choices. I've always known that candy bars were bad and chicken breast was good, but I didn't know how to make that right choice. Now, I get it. I worked my plan hard these last 9 months and the good habits are ingrained, and I've found that when I stray from proper eating to something junky, I don't feel very good and it's almost always not worth it.

I'm most certainly not perfect, but I feel normal now... and definitely healthier and wiser!

Sooooooooooooooo true.

I physically feel like crap when I eat "off-plan" stuff (though not sure if its purely physical...its likely combined with something mental going on). The icky feelings I get from eating more than just a teeny bit of sugar/fried stuff have "pavlov-ed" me into a much better eater.
