I need help :(

It's always worth it. Do you know "why" you want to do it? Like. .. really why?

I don't know you, but I do know this: YOU are worth it. Feel free to add me, I have felt how you are feeling. You can do this.

It is hard. No doubt about it. I'm hoping to lose 74 pounds, and I often have the same thoughts. Especially after losing 55 pounds 6 years ago, and gaining it all back. Ultimately though, I know that I feel bad about being so overweight.

As the post above is getting to, it helps me to remind myself why I want to lose weight. For me, it's because I like, even crave, feeling comfortable and confident around others. Not looking around when we're out with friends, or when I'm in a meeting, and realizing that I'm the only fat girl in the room. I like wearing nice clothes, and feeling like I look fantastic in them. I like feeling healthy. I like the feeling of strength and confidence and accomplishment I feel when I leave the gym.

Bottom line: I think I deserve to feel beautiful and confident again.

So what helps me to keep going? When I eat, I think about how everything I eat is going to make me FEEL. Is it going to give me energy, or make me feel tired and sluggish? Is it going to make me feel accomplished for sticking to the parameters that are going to get me toward my goal, or feeling aweful because I ate something I shouldn't have. Is it going to be worth how it makes me feel?

It's tough, no doubt about it. The hardest part to me is always getting started. Like you are saying, those first couple of days. When you are a week in and you've lost a couple pounds, it gets easier. And when you are a month in and you've lost ten pounds, even better.

Good luck! We can do this! Just don't get discouraged and keep going. The farther you get into it the better you are going to feel!

Always toughest in the beginning, stick with it it will get easier.

Before myfitnesspal, I lost 59 lbs. Now I'm using this to lose the last of it, so that it will never get back on.

So I know how you feel, I've been there. It's seems like SO high a mountain, but if I can do it, so can you.
Just take it one day at a time, try to be good EVERY day again. Hold on 'till the first weigh-in and once you see results, use that happiness to propel yourself forward. If you did bad, use that anger to whip yourself into shape. GET MAD! How many times I ran an extra km because I was teaching myself a lesson..! 'Goddamn it, get your *kitten* together, bite down and show everyone that you're better than this'.

There will be ups and downs but eventually you will find that it's really not that hard as your mind makes it out to be. Strive towards the feeling that relief might not be that far around the corner.

Its SO worth it in the end. To look in the mirror and actually be HAPPY with what you see, instead of being disgusted. STRIVE towards that. Visualize seeing yourself in the mirror the way you want to be, visualize it while exercising, and forget the pain and go harder- faster, visualize before you eat unhealthy food, and you lose your appetite.

You can do it.

One pound at a time. U didn't gain it overnight and it's not coming off overnight

Take small steps towards getting healthier so you do not get overwhelmed. Start going for a walk a few times a week, cut out late night snacking, drink more water, etc. Each little change adds up and it gets easier with time. Good luck

OK you've been at it 3 days now and have lost 5 lbs..
If you are finding it really hard set your weight loss goal slower like just one lb a week.
How many calories are you eating? You need to be above 1200 to make this a lifestyle change and not a crash diet.
