Where do I start...?

in Introduce Yourself
Well, I am not sure where to start. I have been struggling with my weight since the age of 15. Provided I lived off a very cheap and unhealthy diet because my mother could not afford healthier alternatives. I ended up with terrible eating addictions and habits even to this day. Its hard to shake a bad/addicting habit to begin with but one of the hardest things to break is a bad eating habit.. Typically my mind and my body work in separate ways. Where my mind wants to go for a jog my body wants to sit and play video games and eat. I joined MFP to hopefully get some support and finally lose that weight and find healthier alternatives and tone up like I always pictured in my heart.

    Get some friends (feel free to add me if u like) to help motivate and hold you accountable. Make small changes. Something you can stick with. Add more later. Then ad more later, and so on. Make too many big changes it can be tough to sustain. Good luck!

    Well all I can talk about are my experiences... for me this is the best weight loss method I have ever come across, and I have tried a few :) you have taken the hardest step which is identifying the day you start your diet.... it will be a long journey but so so worth it.
