Getting a little more brave

Hello! I have been reading the posts but haven't added in yet. So I guess it's time to be a little more social and join in.
First of all I have had alot of false starts, I mean alot. So I am going to try to find little things that work for me each day until something clicks. For example today's goal is to log everything! I do this easily enough when I stay oncourse which I find to be easy during the day but come evening my resolves weakens so I am going to work on that too. Also, I have noticed that I beat myself up when I don't stick to the plan then I excuse myself then I pity myself...it's a viscious cycle. Sadly though, I forgot to praise myself for the good days when I make it to the gym and eat healthy. I figure I can be my worst enemy or my best friend. I know that's cheesey but I have tried dieting before and failed. During those times I would get really excited and tell everyone until I silently forgot the diet and stopped talking about it. So no more talking, just a little more doing.
This time I will be able to do this and instead of trying to please everyone else by saying "I'm on a diet" I am going to please myself with a new lifestyle, actions will speak louder than words. This is not to say that my loved ones would not be supportive, I just need to make a foundation for myself and believe in me before I can expect anyone else to.
With that being said it's time to get off here and get to the gym, also I need to by the 30 day shred dvd, so excited!!!

Remember its a marathon, not a sprint...Your story echoes mine.... I have been dieting forever - still fat though :noway:

Am doing it sensibly and slowly and concentrating on my fitness rather than weight loss..... Have also invested in 30ds but scared :sad:
