I decided to create an actual diary where I put in all my thoughts, feelings, weightloss. The food journal wasn't cutting it for me, I kept forgetting to write my food down.
First a little story about myself. I never used to be overweight. I was a very active and fit child. I ran alot, I enjoyed it and would love to start running again. I was always outside enjoying life. When I was 7, my dad died, and we moved in with my grandma. She bought all kinds of junk food...the beginning of my sugar addiction! There were also no kids to play with in her neighborhood..so I watched t.v and ate all day. Thats where it all started. I actually started getting bigger around age 9..but I was still healthy, and not too overweight. Then we moved into my current house, and got a computer. And it all went down hill there.
I really need to lose weight for my sanity, I need some confidence..which I have little of, and I am pre diabetic, and have polycystic ovarion syndrome (I have a "black" kneck, and tons of skin tags because of that and a few other physical effects)..and need to lose weight for my health!!
I have lost 4 pounds so far, and I started when I joined this forum. I am not new to dieting..I have tried so many programs including weight watchers, and atkins...but I am finally mature enough to realise..the food I am eating is hurting me..and me being lazy is not doing me any good at all and I want to try better for myself...and thats why I came here. I think this is the best motivation I need. People to help me along the way, and be dissapointed in me if I gain! My brother is thin..and my mom was 300 pounds, and is now below 200..she is still losing, but she is at work all day, so I don't get the motivation I need.
something that has helped me might just help you. Try not to use the word diet. Diets never work! What you're on your way to doing is a lifestyle change. The "D" word is a bad word!
