Smallkisses,
Calm down a bit Hun, it may take time but I know you can succeed at this new attempt of starting to lose weight. First off, congratulations on joining this site, I definitely know that there are tons of people on here who are willing to offer help / advice / inspiration / and whatnot, without you even asking for it.
I know it might be hard to lose all the weight, especially if you are like me and want to see results right away. However, I’ve learned that if you set mini weight loss goals of 5 pounds or so, it will be easier to succeed. Also, I think that by doing small weight loss goals, it will be a bit harder to sabotage yourself. I know you can lose 5 pounds easily and sometimes when we see our huge goal of 50 or more pounds, we get intimidated and give up.
I think that you are so brave to put up photos of yourself now. I have photos of myself, in my diary, up on this website too (as well as in my room) and I look at them now and again to motivate myself to keep moving forward and not give up.
Sugar is your poison, same for me. I dislike chocolate, but I’m a Kool-Aid freak! So, I know it might be hard to give up the thing you love, but instead of cutting it out completely, just limit yourself to half of what you consume in a day. I think that just a little bit of cutting back will do wonders right now… then eventually you can cut it out completely and only treat yourself to it once a week or what not.
Anyway, starting a diary is always a good move on here. You can right down all your feelings and it’s amazing how many people feel the way you do and how many can help cheer you up and keep inspiring you to go on through their stories. Best of Luck.
Take care Hun.
Veronica
