And so it begins...love some friends.

So, I'm sure like most people, I am not new to the weight loss game. I have tried almost every diet at one point or another over the past 20 years, but I keep ending up back where I started. This time I am taking a different approach. This time, it is a journey, not a destination...this time it is mental, spiritual, and physical...this time I am motivated by my inner self, not my need to please others...this time it is slow, methodical, and consistent...this time is different! I have been on this journey for 15 weeks...down 13 pounds. I would love to make some friends here for those times when I need a pick-me-up or someone to celebrate with...and to be here when someone else needs those things. So, this time, let's get there together!

I think I've been around that 'diet' trip once or twice in the last 20 years lol.
I agree with you, this time around the inside matches the outside, this time it is for me first.
Welcome to mfp good luck with your journey, happy for you to add me, have a good day

Hi
Like you I've been struggling with this for many years. I had it under better control when I was younger, but the last few years, I've added at lot of "middle aged spread" and not been able to keep my eating under control so well. Like you I'm doing it for me, and it's about changing my eating habits for life, and going on a journey I'm going to stay on. I've got my head in the right place now, we could support eachother. I haven't used a message board before, but I think it will be great to all be able to support eachother:happy:

Well said. With that kind of attitude in your arsenal, you will be successful this time! I'll send you a friend request, it does help to have support!
