Things to remember

1) You're already beautiful. Work on being healthier. Sometimes, you feel the results before you see them. Don't get caught up on the number on the scale.

2) There's more to life than calorie counting. Plan where you can. Try not to go overboard. Do your best. But go out for dinner with your friends, have the birthday cake, enjoy yourself. Being too strict will only make you miserable. Don't be too hard on yourself. As long as you're working towards your goal and don't give up, you're doing just fine.

3) It's hard. It's really hard. You have a whole network of people on MFP who are going through the same thing. Lean on them for support, and know that you're not alone. Be patient. It'll be worth it.
