in Motivation and Support
If you are, I *need* you on "my team"!!!

Right now... I lack real motivation. It's only been 10 days for me, 3 days on here. But I know if I don't keep wit it I will give up. I need to be pushed to do well. I need to know I am doing a good job. My dairy is open to friends. I need active people, helpful people to watch me. Criticize me when I need it, and let me know when I'm doing an OK job. I've been completely on my own for the first time in my entire life for the last two years. I thought I would do OK, but not used to having to cook my own meals (for 1) all the time...I gave up on that and did takeout almost every night for dinner. No brown bagging lunches either.

I am slowly learning that going to the grocery store every few days is a great way to kill time rather than sit on the couch and be miserable. Same with taking the time to prepare myself a meal takes up time that would otherwise be spent wallowing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in a bad place... yet. But 2 years of this and maintaining a "heavy" weight.... if i can maintain 70 lbs more than i want, I should be able to lose them and maintain where I would much prefer to be.

This is where you come in. Slap me around will ya?
Thanks

    I've logged everything I have eaten for 32 straight days. And down 11 pounds since starting MFP. (16 since starting CICO) I don't log exercise here though. I do that on the fitbit dashboard.

    Sending you a request too nersteve; my diary is open to any one on MFP - feel free to add me too.

    I figure if I'm going to spend time here I'm all in, including opening up everything. If I'm going to set a goal, I'll do it in public. Already feeling the pressure of the dwindling day to get out for my run. See, it works!
