in Introduce Yourself
I'm pretty sure this is a feeling or a story you can all emphasise with..
You're noticing a decline in fitness which correlates with a decline in mood, confidence and how you feel about yourself. You keep making promises to get active, start a diet and do those 100 crunches the second you get out of bed.

But let's be honest. Food is tasty. Maybe too tasty.

Every plan or attempt to sort myself out seems to fail and I'm thinking maybe I'm setting myself goals that are too high and unachievable targets. Maybe it's time to accept these things don't happen overnight.

Anyway.. My name's Kate.

Hopefully this app will help me keep track and I can make a gradual yet permanent change. I want to feel good in myself as I'm sure everyone else does too.

Today is my first day so here goes!

    I know exactly how you feel Kate. I measured out my macaroni and cheese for dinner and was shocked by how little 2 1/2 ounces is. We can do it one day at a time though. One less bite of macaroni at a time

    Very common.

    Perfect!

    When I start out to work I usually do not stop because I am in a poor mood. Well, yes, clinical depression could certainly stop me, no argument there.

    You can do this. Try to log in each day, find a point of success each day. It adds up.

    Yeah it's crazy! I'm used to having big portions from when I used to do a lot of exercise but I don't do any now and still have big plates so obviously have started piling it on

    Yes! I think I'm doing this more for increasing my moods rather than the weight loss per say. You can do this to!
