New Years is too late for me...I'm starting now

bigbeautifulstacy

I've gained weight again and crossed that most terrible threshold...300 pounds. At 304 pounds, it is now hard to find clothes that fit me. If that isn't a sign, then I don't know what is! I'm trying to keep my spirits up and not dwell on the fact that I've said this many times before and failed. I have to lose weight. There is no alternative. Any and all support greatly appreciated! More friends on this long journey would be wonderful.

You can do it! Look at smokers who have smoked their whole lives, tried quitting many times, relapsed, and then finally succeeded. It's never too late.

I had the very same idea. I always say I'm gonna start "tomorrow" - and even planned on starting in January. Then two days ago, I decided that was dumb. This isn't a diet; it is a lifestyle change to live my best life possible. Why wouldn't I want to start today? I'm on day 2 - after gaining back the 10 pounds I lost this summer. GL!

Good luck, you got this. Here is a little tip I use. When eating and your body has had enough you will take a deep breath. Stand up and scrap your plate in the trash. It will take a few times of paying close attention, trust me it will help.

Clothes do wonders to camouflage the truth. The only thing I've been doing, is waffling back and forth between watching what I eat for awhile, and then...not. And the weight maintains...and sometimes creeps. But more important than a number - the muscle mass is lost and the flab increases. I know discipline is what I need. Hence, why I'm here.

Great tip. I'll do it at my next meal. Thanks:flowerforyou:

I decided to start before New Years too! My "fat jeans" are almost too small and I knew it had to stop. I'm just so uncomfortable in my skin right now. I've tried and failed so many times before too, and I've had so many days where I woke up with good intentions of eating better and exercising, only to immediately start eating everything in sight and say "Oh well, maybe tomorrow". I'm ready to finally do this and I think 2014 this the year I will reach my goal. You can certainly add me if you would like, we can do this together!

You will do just fine. You are in the right place for support. Once you finally set your mind to it your body will follow. I am "starting again" myself. Please feel free to add me. Anyone else for that matter. We are in it for the long haul.!! Happy New Year and New you to come!!
