Those awful homemade Christmas cookies Santa didn't eat are all over my thighs. Well, I haven't been following what I know I should do. I have a huge issue with dieting. As soon as I make the decision to do something about my weight, there is like a bell that goes off and I think I will be starving and I want to eat this for one more time and that for one more time and then the scale goes up instead of down and I get either crazy and say diet will never work for me. My body is so ready to lose the weight, tired of carrying those extra pounds everywhere. My logical, healthy thinking, work the plan, lists, this program, even got a fitbit for Christmas so I can track my steps. My emotions on the other end are so childish. I don't know why? I always had enough food, I am not from a third world Country that don't know where my next meal will come from. I just want it all right now, specially the sugar. I don't know how to stop. Well, this time, I am not giving up, I will try again, right now.

Go for it!!! I gave up sugar about 12 years ago. But lately, I have been allowing myself to eat sugar and empty carbs. So.... .we'll do this together. OK?

Rather than using a "diet" mindset which causes up to think we are deprived, try thinking "Lifestyle" mindset and nake one small change every day - like drink more water, then take more steps, then reduce your calories, etc. Eventually you will have made important healthy changes that are long lasting.

I used to be very much like you...had to have one more because it would be my last time...then came the diagnosis that I was diabetic..and I really began to consider what I was doing to myself. I haven't had a cookie, a piece of cake or pie for a very long time. I truly don't miss them because I know if I indulge I will be heading down the insulin path. Each of us has to find what is our reason for making sometimes huge lifestyle changes...for me, it was to enjoy good health...perhaps before you can find the courage to just say no, you need to think upon your reason for wanting a change. On this site, you will find a whole slew of wonderful people who will love and support you through any challenge. Without all these wonderful people my battle may have had a different outcome....I know you can do it and as HCB said, start with belittle change and move forward. Wishing you only the very best.

🎈Hey Lady Sophie, I hear you!! Two philosophies that works for me are: "everything in moderation". And "incremental improvements". 🤔
Maybe figure out what those mean to you and maybe they'll help a tiny bit? Have a great day!☀️

Very wise advice from the above...I too, used to gain more weight while trying to diet because if I fell off the wagon or was gonna start, I'd eat all the forbidden food I could...because it's not gonna be allowed...I have found moderation and small changes add up to big success. It has taken many years, but you can change and find what works for you. It does take trial and error. we are here for you!

I had high blood pressure, back problems, fatigue and was borderline diabetic. I was killing myself slowly so I either need to change or die. Simple as that. I know it sounds morbid but that is how I am approaching this. I want to be able to enjoy life, have energy and not give myself self induced diseases. I love food but it isn't worth all of that.
