I need all of the support I can get

Hey guys!

Ever since my boyfriend and I moved in together which was in November I have been telling myself that I need to lose weight. I am 5'8'' and 170 lbs. According to my BMI I am about 5 lbs over weight, but I could be as low as 130lbs. My goal right now is 140lbs. So ever since November I have been horrible about losing this weight.

There will be weeks that I go to the gym every day and work out real hard, but then I just give up. There will be weeks that I eat healthy, but then I give up. I don't know if it's the thought of me thinking I will lose the weight over night or if I am just too damn lazy.

I ***** all of the time to my boyfriend and friends and I feel like I do nothing about it. For the past two months I have been really really good about working out. I have been doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred 5-6 days a week. Yes, it's only 25 minutes so maybe this is my problem. I also don't eat very healthy.

Sometimes my boyfriend and I are too lazy to cook after work so we'll just drive through somewhere. I absolutely LOVE food and I catch myself thinking about food a lot. Sometimes I can't wait to get up to eat the new cereal I just bought the night before or I can't wait to get home from work because I know we have chili in the crockpot.

OK OK I'm sorry for just *****ing and going on, but hopefully there are some people out there who can really motivate me and give me some support. I'll be honest I have NO will power what so ever. If my friend calls me up and wants to go get ice cream I don't think twice about it (Mint Chip please!!) Or maybe just writing this all out will help me too.

I am sick of going clothes shopping and having to buy bigger sizes every time I go to the store. I'm tired of sitting down and having to hide my rolls. I'm sick of being tired going up a few flights of stairs and being out of breath. I want to look good and feel good. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE any advice, support, success stories will be so helpful. Thanks guys!!!

It's hard! I won't lie! And when my loving (but oh so clueless) husband brings home ice cream or candy bars for me, I eat it! LOL The key (I think) is to pick yourself back up after the "slip up". I used to beat myself up for indulging and making poor choices and say "hey... I effed today up. I'll start again next week". Until I realized thinking like that isn't going to get me any closer to my goal. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you find the support and motivation you're looking for!
