I am very apprehensive about this journey,as I am used to failing and being told I'm going to fail in everything I do. It won't be easy, but I am tired of living this way and hating myself for it. My biggest struggle will be getting the exercise in. I love fruits and veggies as it is, and don't eat fast food. I do like soda, and that will be hard to give up. I cut back to about 2 cans a day, and it's natural sodas. My husband is already skinny, so it's hard to be on my own on this journey. I just hope this time I can be successful.

    I'm right there with you. Today will be the start of my journey that I've put off for to long. I'm very excited and nervous at the sametime. I pray and hope for the best for us both!

    Hey there!

    well every great journey starts with one step! i am sure that you will do great! i just re-started a few days ago. i first tried 7 months ago and then gave up after a month but this time i think it will do better.

    i am looking forward to going on same journey as you are. Remember that failure is not a bad thing if you learn from it.

    ^-^

    you're off to a great start with the healthy eating--that was the hardest thing for me to change (eating habits). If your hubby's in good shape, maybe he can workout with you a little bit for encouragement?

    I understand your journey very well. My husband is also already skinny and I have no one at home to help me keep motivated.

    I did for the food diary, so that I knew where I was coming from. Today I planned out every meal and I'm only over by 32 calories. I consider that a victory for me!

    Hi and welcome. I know the feeling of a skinny hubby.. got one myself. I just look at a brownie and I gain weight.. he on the other hand can eat what he wants and never gain a pound. Good luck to you.
