Hi,

Look, it's hard to get motivated but it's also pretty depressing when you don't have any pants that fit.

You have to use your willpower. U know, just do it one time, pass up the snack, start w/ one and go from there. Also, don't beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon, get back on. Drink the water, at least 64 ozs. The good thing is if u can make it thru one day and drink the water, by the next day u might have dropped 1 - 4 lbs depending on how much water you r storing. Kind of nice to see the wt drop, even if it is just water wt.

Make some goals, start a journal/diary, write down everything and yes I mean everything u eat, write down your emotions when you ate it.

Make a plan. Soooooo many times I said I am going to lose wt, but really had no plan except maybe go to the gym. But my food habits sucked!

I've only just started, but by writing stuff down, I see where my problem times, when I get home from work.

write your goals in your online diary:
how much u want to lose?
by when?
How much each month? (make it sensible, 20lbs in a month ain't gonna happen unless u r extremely overwt and retaining a ton of water and even then, seems unreasonable and cutting off your head ain't an option)
How often do u want to workout?
what type of workout do u want to do?
wts. & some form of interval cardio trainiing?
now detail thiis and write what days u plan on working out.

Hope this helps.
