I just started MFP on Monday January 10th so am also very new to this!
Thanks for the inspirational words as ...I had a bad couple of days and binged on Friday and Saturday - Already!!!!
I don't want to give up though.
It was a good week in terms of adhering to the daily caloric intake - I actually find that I don't eat as much as I should be🤔
Plus I got out walking at brisk pace 3 - 4 times this week too, for 30 to 45 minutes which helped with my mood!!
This may sound strange, but I have this block in my head that I can't or won't lose weight?
Any advice or insight to how to get rid of this mental block?
My goal is to take off 20lbs at least. But in all honesty I have never seriously tried to lose weight before as I was in a somewhat"healthy"range with just a few lbs creeping up over the yrs.
I'm addicted to sweets and have been binging for several yrs now and my weight & health has gotten out of hand😟
Can I do this!!!!!????
I'm having a hard time believing I can lose the weight.
