My Goals:
I realized late last year that I had put my life on hold because I was too fat and too worried what other people would think/say if I did somethings.
I don't want to live a life on hold.
I don't want to worry about what other people think or say.
When trying to decide what to write, I started to tell you how many pounds I want to lose but that's just a number, a big one, but still just a number. My real goal is to lose enough weight to allow me to live my life and enjoy myself. If that's 150, 200, 250 pounds, it really doesn't matter. What matters is quality of life and that is my goal.
My Program:
I started dieting, thanks mom, at the age of 6. I think I have probably done every diet ever conceived. Some have worked for a while and some have made me feel like a complete failure.
I decided I needed a plan that takes my nature into account. I am reducing my calories and tracking calories so I am aware of what I'm eating. I promised myself that I would not make any food off limits, but I would have to account for it. So far so good. If I want it I have it but I pay for it.
Telling myself that I can never have something I love ever again is a sure fire way to make me quit. If I allow anything, then I never cheat on my diet so there is breaking my diet, no failure, and never a need to eat badly for the rest of the day because I'm going to get back on the wagon tomorrow.

I can not change yesterday, but I can change today. There is no one GIANT step to achieve this goal, merely a series of little steps.

I guess as long as you keep coming back you're doing okay. I have to force myself to stay, and don't care if I'm blowing it or not. I just have to keep on trying.
