Hi there!

No, this is not really my 4,522th attempt at losing weight, but it sure feels like it. I must have almost an entire bookstore's worth of diet books lying around my house gathering dust. Each plan is the same old story: I do great for just a little while, driving along all peachy-keen. Then all of the sudden there's a truck tire in the middle of the road, and you hit the breaks ("I CAN"T STOP"!), your car falls off some random cliff that just happens to be there and decides to explode. The abulance shows up and the medic gets out screaming "Oh my god!" while the new guy's in the back puking his guts out. Anyone who has tried anything before this or seen the movie Tommy Boy knows what I'm talking about. Wish me luck.

peace.

    LoL that was awesome! Yes been there done that. Happily on something now going on two years here shortly. You just need a whole new personal philosophy. If your philosophy is still the same you may re visit that scene all over again.

    I loved your post! Been there done that and praying every day I don't do it again! I lost 50lbs in my early 20's and kept it off till my two kiddos.....If you need a buddy or support email me or you have the whole MFP group, they are awesome. Join a group on here to keep you motivated! If you can't find one, start one. Sometimes we need people to be held accountable to :0)
    Wishing you tons of luck!

    Nice "Tommy Boy" reference. I used to feel like the "Fat guy in a little coat" myself. Stick with the food diary and be accountable, no matter what. Good luck.
