Hi - I love your topic - have felt this before. You're getting some great advice and support, and I too would appreciate a "like" button to vote these responses up.

My 2 cents is to go back and look at pictures you have from when you were your fittest. When you felt the best about yourself. And that might inspire you greatly.

Another idea, and this is new to me, is to put your cravings for junk food in perspective. I find myself thinking lately, "I know what the cake tastes like (because I had a piece yesterday), but I don't know what a flat stomach feels like." The curiosity of what it will feel like to reach my goal is making it easier (in some instances) to pass up stupid munchie food. It's not a perfect solution and doesn't work every time, but it's helping me make better choices.

Good luck!
