    Just a reminder why you're doing this (bolded your own words to remind you when you forget). ;) It is hard at times but it does get simpler as you do it longer. Getting committed to yourself and your goals makes it less hard.

    Stay positive! Remember, always watch you eat and log them. Don't ever lose hope.

    Great reason, I wish you the best. Remember keeping to fruit, veggies, fiber, water, and the protein you need will put you on your path to a healthier you.

    welcome =) it's a lot easier then you realize. Try pre logging foods for the day that always helped me stay on track.

    Welcome! And congratulations on making the decision to be the best YOU that you can be. I know it looks like an impossible mountain at the moment, but just take it a day at a time and be kind to yourself.
