The Devil invented MILKSHAKES!!!
Well - actually the devil is responsible for cookies!!! Seriously, you will still have to work on and battle your food addictions/issues. However, it is SO MUCH easier to do that work after losing 100+ pounds and being much more active.
Now when I face the evil cookies I think about how far I have come - instead of how far I have to go, and that is a powerful motivator.
You will be able to do Oktoberfest eventually - but you won't be stuffing yourself with sausages and several heavy beers. You might be able to have one beer and one sausage - and believe it or not, that will be very satifsying physically and emotionally.
The same goes for ice cream, brownies and Starbucks (I am sipping on a super yummy nonfat iced latte as we speak) etc. There are sugar free prepared versions and awesome recipes for home made sugar free versions all over the place.
Good luck on your journey and enjoy the ride!
