Being fat sucks. There are moments of enjoyment, like eating a ton of cake, pie, cheese or other indulgent items and not caring about the outcome. These are moments when you think, "Who cares? I'm fat already!" But we know the thoughts that come later: "How did this happen?" We never think about those things until after its a problem.
Well now its a problem. It was a problem 3 years ago when I first joined this website, but now it is even worse. Now it is possibly the reason I am not a mom yet, it is most 100% the reason I am having issues being intimate with my husband.
So how do we fix it without empty promises? Without just yelling to no one that cares, "I'm changing myself!" There has to be some kind of fix that I can actually stick to right? I'm not the only person in this world that has started a million diets and then failed right? SO I will just yell it out again into this giant cyberspace deal and then pick up where we have left off.

The best way to start - is to just start. Choose a reasonable plan that you can really follow, do some movement every day by walking or using a simple exercise DVD or YouTube, drink plenty of water. Start simply and you will feel better!

No, you're definitely NOT the only person in this world that has started a million diets & failed, but you probably need something more specific than "I'm changing myself." Start with a plan, a simple plan. Pick one high-cal food that you love & find a low-cal substitute for it, then spend a week tracking to make sure you go through with it. Plan on a non-food reward for your good behavior - maybe an at-home movie with your husband. Choose an exercise that you think you'll like to do, and track that for a week as well, then build from there. Good luck to you!!!

We have choices to make but we do not control the consequences. We are our own big heroes and our own worst enemy. I too let myself go and had to be honest with myself. I alone control my weight, I had to let go dieting and sabotaging my own successes. I needed to change the way I look at food and my eating habits. Its not about a diet, its about changing your lifestyle.
You Star are beautiful, no matter what size you are. Never look in the mirror and see what you don't like, look only at what you do like and KNOW that you will eventually change the rest.

Feeling discouraged, angry, even hopeless? Well, you are NOT the only person here that can not do it. If we can do it, You CAN and WILL do it too. :)

You know I consider myself a millionaire...I have tried and stopped diets more than a million times. Its so frustrating. I love food. I eat when I'm bored, excited, depressed, social events and so on. I've made plans and empty promises too many times to count. For me, this time, I am trying to do away with the notion of perfection and chip away day to day. I make a plan sometimes to get through one meal or one day. Do away with the notion of failure and starting over.....just keep trying to work on being consistent...“The longer you hang in there, the greater the chance that something will happen in your favor. No matter how hard it seems, the longer you persist, the more likely your success.”

For starters YOU care! If not you would not have taken the first step. It is hard being fat! You can't find clothes to fit, when you do they NEVER look like they do on the mannequin or the picture! I know I have always been bigger than any of my friends, even when I was young and NOT fat, I was always bigger! ... "Big Boned" is what they called it. Well that was a bunch of BS! ... ever seen a fat skeleton? When I started this I changed one thing at a time! I started with trying to take out all "processed" sugar, then incoorperated water instead of any other beverage. It then progressed to no fast food, or eating out. It has not been easy at times. However I am now 50 lbs down and still going I started this at 269 this morning I was at 226( the holidays were disappointing) to say the least! But now that the New year is here, I will start again. Never give up on your self! Do not doubt your self worth. Just one step at a time.
