    :flowerforyou: I teach a Ladies fitness boot camp class 3 times a week... so I see this all the time. All the ladies are right, we can say what we want to say that you should do to get you on board with changing your lifestyle, but it's got to be something you want. I don't always track my calories or watch what I eat, but I know from tracking calories in the past around how many calories I'm consuming and I know what kind of workout i have to put in to get rid of them. Don't look at it so much as a chore, YOU don't have to do anything you don't want to do. But since you posted this, I think you want to make the change so what are you waiting for???? Good luck in your journey.

    One other thing...you are referring to the weight you've gained as "my weight." Don't associate yourself with extra weight. I know that sounds stupid, but think about it this way - referring to something in the possessive sense like that enables you to own it. Don't own it, get rid of it. It's not "your weight". As I shed pounds, I say, "64 pounds GONE!" I don't say "lost" because I am NOT going to find it again!! It's gone!!

    Just a thought. :smile:

    Wow - thank you EVERYONE for all your responses, I read every one of them.

    I probably should have noted that I have been out of my last relationship for more than a year, and I broke it off. That is when I started to be my heaviest was in the relationship, then towards the end is when I started taking more affirmative action with myself.

    Looking back, I just don't know how it is that I stayed so consistent. I guess you are right though, in that I just need to start, find what my inner motivation is. I hope what I find will be enough though. I let myself get by because I'm not "that heavy" but I didn't like what I saw in a recent photo. And I'd like to get down to where I was before.

    It's just about the dedication I am worried about. I just don't know how I did it. Hopefully it will come back to me. I know it's not suppose to feel like a chore but it does, at least for now, and mentally exhausting to obsess about what is going into home made meals. I will try to start again though, and I really hope I won't give in or take the easy way out. I just am not in that mental state quite yet.
