Before I lost 110 pounds, my challenges were portion control, bingeing, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/?p=28970\">not knowing what to eat<\/a>. I changed my thinking, I told myself I CAN DO THIS, and I did. I did not have unrealistic expectations about how long it would take to lose the weight&#8211;I knew it would be a hard journey&#8211;and I was lucky to get support for almost everyone in my life.<\/p>\n<p>And then <a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/?p=34509\">I lost the weight<\/a> and the challenges changed a bit. Portion control was still the devil on my shoulder, but I had gotten a handle on the binge eating. I&#8217;d broken the bad habits I had and learned what to eat.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>So what about you?
