    it is all about lifestyle change. Once you accept the fact that you are going to change your habits to eat healthy and work out regularly then it becomes a lot easier. At least it was for me...I am at the point now if I do not work out I feel like an absolute slug...or if I eat a bunch of crap I am like WTF was I thinking...so days like that are few and far between now. I still get hungry - and there is nothing wrong with being hungry - it just boils down to making sure that you eat healthy, stay in a calorie deficit, and work out on a regular basis...adapt those three things into your life and there is no stopping you...Remember it is a marathon not a sprint.it took a long time to get out of shape and it is going to take a while to get back into shape..

    I just know that this is something where, even if I were to fail now, I would always try again at some point. So I just tell myself to keep going now, or else I'll be starting over in 6 months, and it will be even harder. Even if you stumble and have a bad week, keep going. Even if it's not going perfectly, it's still going better.
