    Hello, first of all don't look at this as a DIET, look at it as a lifestyle change. That is the first thing I decided last April (2010) when I started my renewed weightloss journey. Then realize that life has a lot of ups and downs and that eating something unhealthy occassionally will not be the end of all things healthy. Allow yourself once in a while the naughty indulgence that you so often desire and what makes you completely run off the tracks. Realize that this is a journey that you are going to want to live with for the rest of your life, making those kinds of changes are lifelong. Try making small changes one at a time, such as lower your sodium, once you have that mastered, lower your sugar or fat or carbs whatever seems to be your biggest areas of struggle. Remember to always make sure you are drinking at least half your body weight in ounces to hydrate your body properly. And then last but not least start getting regular exercise in, set small goals for yourself, start out walking or swimming things you enjoy doing. Make sure you get some cardio in and strenght training, alternate days if you find it difficult to get both in. Make this part of your lifestyle change, just be sure you are exerting some energy while doing activities and build from there. It has taken me a lifetime of struggles to learn these things for myself and you will realize that altimately it has to come from within you to make this happen, although you can lean on others for support. Good luck in your journey!
