the hard thing for me is remembering to set small goals and reward myself for meeting them. I want what I want and I want it now, the endurance sucks. Instead of saying I wanna lose 100 pounds in a year, I have to say: This week I want to do this or that and then be happy when I actually do it~!!! Much like quitting smoking I need to focus on everything bad that I don't eat, not little slip ups I may have~! Haha, that should be my sig on the health forum I'm on; 'every donut I don't eat is a step in the right direction!'
I think anyone that can get on a diet- and succeed- is simply amazing. I have watched my mother struggle with weight her entire adult life. She's never EVER been able to sustain anything until she started the Alli diet. My father is the opposite.. he just thinks about losing weight and drops 20 lbs (my mom hates it). Now, while I don't neccessarily AGREE with her choice of 'diet methods' (for her, using the pills allows her to eat as usual.. she has terrible eating habits.. and still lose weight) it works for her. Nothing has of yet, because she can't maintain a healthy eating lifestyle.
Applause to you for realizing that it takes more than just eating carrots and grapefruit for two weeks, and sitting around on yer tush. I think you'll do great, and not only will you lose weight, but you'll make yourself healthier.
Anyhoo.. I just want to wish you well. Slow and steady wins the race, and I think you've got a great head start already
Is that a bad thing or a compliment
Are you taking over for Loxy?
Ohhh...Prism wants to be known as the "mean"
