Am I setting myself up for failure?

You've gotten a LOT of great advice, and you are facing this with great humor. THANK YOU FOR THE SMILES!!!
I've found that for me gradual changes work best. I gave up soda pop 2+ years ago. I have an occasional rum and diet. It was tough at first, but it got easier with each sucess.
Now the big change has been my diet. Hubby, (who is a big hairy guy that I adore) isn't happy that I'm not indulging with him any more, but he is happy with the changes that are happening to my body.
Biggest thing to remember is that you are making these changes for yourself. YOU want to climb to the top of the Eiffel tower instead of taking the elevator, YOU want to buy clothes in the regular section of the clothing store, YOU want to fit comfortably in airline seats. (I love it that I have to use a belt to hold up my pants at the moment - I'm not ready to go clothes shopping yet)
Good luck to you - don't beat yourself up if you do give into (a small) tempation, just get back on track the next day.
