    Good luck! I know you can do this. Be sure to visit us every day, that is the key. (And check out the success stories for inspiration or when you feel tempted!)

    Good luck! Just keep the mindset that you CAN and WILL do it. Every one slips up from time to time, the trick is to just keep going!

    I wish you the best tyger. I am doing the same in a small way. And don't beat yourself up over setbacks; it's setting the new intention in motion that's the main thing. Carry that through and everything will work itself out. Good luck and all karma to you.

    You might try reprogramming yourself so that you highlight the foods you love that you CAN have. I've gotten to the point where 2 or 3 little Dove dark chocolate pieces are a dream...I LOVE them. I LOVE fresh veggies with a wedge of Laughing Cow Cheese. I LOVE a Rice Thin (by Real Foods) spread with a tablespoon of almond butter. I LOVE homemade bean soup. You get the idea :) Oh, and every once in a while, I LOVE wine and margaritas

    You can never go wrong with wine and margaritas.

    @tn2010 Loved your words: "you can live the the pain of discipline or live with the regret." So true. If we can get our brains around what we are doing to soothe ourselves (with food) then maybe we can change. Just starting again, for the 100th time! Gotta make a change.

    Welcom and I wish you the best!

    I read somewhere that in order to lose weight we first have to change our mind... which is thinking positive, thinking about the food we eat... thinking that moving just a little is more than not moving at all...

    I know you can do it, you are young and nothing can stop you except for you ..
