in Introduce Yourself
Honestly, I am scared. I know from when I've tried to do this in the past, I have failed. I hope I have the strength to do this right. I want to feel beautiful in my body ALL the time, not just when I convince myself I am. Please pray and support! I really need it!

    Welcome! You've come to the right place. There's tons of great advice on here to help you succeed.

    I would start off by saying don't put so much pressure on yourself. There is no "fail." If you have a heavy eating day and go over your goal, you're not derailing the whole process. You're only delaying the day you reach your ideal weight. Since this isn't a race, that's fine. Take it slow and steady and be kind to yourself. Develop a healthy relationship with food, not an anxious relationship full of rules and restrictions, and you'll take the weight off and keep it off for the rest of your life.

    Thanks for the reply! It's just so hard to keep focused for me. I used to be anorexic back when I was in middle school, so I'm trying to keep away from intense, rash methods xD
