Re: what's wrong with me???

You're not alone, we're here for you! Losing weight is a difficult road to go down, and getting started is the hardest part. Once you get going though, it becomes easier and easier as time goes on.

I needed all the help I could get when it came to losing weight, so I used some motivational ideas to help me. Maybe they can help you too, I am not sure. I will share some with you.

I put pictures of myself looking my best and looking my worst on the refridgerator. This showed me what I want to look like as motivation to get somewhere, and what I don't want to look like as motivation not to go back there. Recently I even put a scale next to the fridge as further motivation.

I started writing down the food I planned on eating as I found following a plan was easier. I also recorded what I was actually eating so I could see how many calories I was eating compared to my calorie goal for the day. I got a friend to make a lifestyle change with me which helped as well.

Of course posting here and getting support from everyone has made things so much better. This group has been super motivaitonal for me to continue down the healthier path, and I am thankful for it!
