BetterThanMe's Journal, 03 November 2010

So, sounds like it's time to make a plan. What do you want to do? How do you want to do it? And why do you want to do it? Those are some inital questions to answer for yourself. Then we can focus on the HOW part and start down that path. This whole community is extremely supportive and helpful. You can make changes, but you have to be ready, willing and able to open yourself up to change. Let us help you, help yourself. 

It's okay to cry. I have done it... and I'd been saying for MONTHS now how much I would like to drop some weight(30 lbs to be exact)I am 8 lbs into my goal now and I have 22 more to go. Make small steps, that's hard enough but once you've done them it becomes easier. Incorporate more veggies and fruit and water and that will help there, then maybe cut back on breads and lastly sugars. Then work on leaner meats. Hopefully, that will make the difference. Then you can get up and start moving...I know it's hard to find the time to exercise, so again take the same approach mentioned before. Start slow and best of luck. 

I feel your pain... I had the same experience yesterday! That's what led me here, I read your post and thought we might be good motivators and encouragement for each other! It's hard to do alone so if you ever need anyone to vent to, share successes or even failures with I'm your girl!!!Good Luck! 

Welcome!!! I'm so glad you found us...just a few months ago I was in that same place & this community has saved my life. Make use of the food & exercise diaries, find new buddies & explore the discussion boards. You CAN change your life & feel better about yourself...if I can do it, you definitely can! Hang in there hon!
