in Introduce Yourself
Ok so I am new here and needing some encouragement. So please be my friend ;) I have 3 small children and have been using the "busy mom" bit as an excuse to put weight loss on the back burner for about a year and it's caught up with me. I am needing to lose about 15 lbs and do lots of toning. I love exercising when I actually make the time for it but it's the dieting that gets me. Dieting has never been this difficult for me but lately, I just canNOT get my mind into it. I hate what I see in the mirror and get so angry with myself when I can't fit anything in my closet but why is this not enough? I used to do pretty good at sticking to whatever diet i chose but now, I cannot stick with even the weight loss methods I usually swear by. I'll be a day or 2 in and find an excuse to binge, or tell myself it's too hard or that I have more important things to worry about. I know that I'm going to hate myself for it but I seem to have lost my self-discipline. I think I might need someone to just tell me to put on my big girl panties and DO THIS! But do what? Where should I start? I tried to count calories earlier this week but it's so tedious...here I go making excuses again. Seriously though I need help. I do NOT want to spend another summer covering my swimsuit with a t-shirt and shorts. What's working right now for you all?

    Counting calories is tedious. It is time consuming. It is irksome. But it works...at least for me. Often it is the difficult, tedious things that work and that's why we do it. You just have to want weight loss more than calorie counting is tedious. You have to want it bad enough.
