in Introduce Yourself
Well, I haven't been the most diligent mfp user over the last couple months. But I have a renewed interest in tracking my progress, because it really works for me. But it looks during my absence a lot of my friends are no longer using mfp. So this is a plea for a new posse. I have an open diary and I am a supportive friend. I have found that the interactions with other members is very important to my success. Thanks!

    The door is open, c'mon in. :)

    For those of you on this thread that would like help and support, please feel free to add me - will be happy to pay it forward in the way that others have done for me...

    The past is done. The future will be here soon enough. What you have to do is focus on today & today only. Its all we have to work with.

    I woulda been dead in 5 years if I hadn't made this commitment. All signs were pointing that way.

    Just a few things the MFP tribe and common sense has taught me:

    1) This is a thing you DO, not a definition of who you ARE. Just like laundry. Take the emotion out of it wherever possible. I cannot stress this enough.

    2) My approach? This is a lifestyle change, not a diet. So there is no finite number of days that I am trying to get to. I will be logging in and logging food for the rest of my life, because:

    a) This program works
    b) I don't want to die young and I was headed that direction

    3) Try to remember - We are the results of the choices we make every day, whether those choices are good or bad. Make as many good choices as you can, and the ship will stay steady. At the end of the day, we are the man in the mirror. We are accountable to ourselves and no one else. I can help you with getting there, but the doing is up to you. Leave rationalizing at the door, and be honest with yourself. Its the only path to long term success

    Cal tracking is considered a good choice (whether boring or not) because it tells you where you really are (just like your check register tells you your balance) - remember to be honest with yourself all the time. Ultimately, you will achieve that which you are seeking much sooner.

    If you will commit to doing the work, your MFP tribe will commit to helping. Why? Because that's what we do. And we have ALL been there.

    Three months ago? I couldn't move. Saturday? I burned 2100 calories exercising. Because? I wanted to.

    You got this.
