always looking for advice and motivational friends

Hi I'mI'm a 23 year old mother in a house with 3 boys that do not like healthy food looking for ppl to help keep me on track when I am tempted to indulge with them please feel free to request me and share advice

Here are a few tips that I found to work for me:
1. Make MFP your home page
2. Log in EVERYDAY, read the message boards, post.. Keep your mind actively thinking about weight loss.
3. Don't try to change too much at once, Implement 1 change every week or so. Little tweeks over time seem to work best or at least better than a butt load of change all at once
4. Always be honest. We all fall on our way to the top, be honest, no one is judging you here... we all support each other
5. Keep trying new things until you find what works for you (It took me a while to find my plan and it works great for me but I wouldn't push it on anyone else)
6. It's easier to lift weights than continue the burdens of carrying weight.
7. Take it one day at a time.
8. Have a cheat day or meal, where you eat what you want
9. Try to talk to yourself as if you are talking to your child or loved one. Often times the thing we need most is to be a better friend to ourselves.
10. Smile

Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.

#7 One day at a time, but make sure you record and remember what goes on during that day and continue until it's routine! Just starting out myself, but we can do this! Believe!
