in Introduce Yourself
I'm sick of my clothes not fitting right. I'm sick of feeling uncomfortable in a crowd. I'm sick of the pain in my knees and feet because they are carrying around too much weight. I'm 170, the most I've been since I had my son. Right now while I'm writing this, I am so committed to this plan. But when the day starts and I'm at work and everyone is eating donuts or wants to go out to eat, then when I get home and would rather do 373627362 other things than exercise, my commitment waivers. I need help. I need accountability. I need people to call me out! I'm glad I found this community and appreciate all the help I can get! Good luck to you all! :)

    Exercise is part of the weight loss effort but staying within your calorie allotment is the most important. I understand how you feel, I'm not perfect but I keep trying , feel free to add me.

    Start with psyching yourself up with what you are about to do..... lose weight the healthy way..... Start clearing out snacks . Put them in one cabinet or box.. out of sight.,closed, labelled... and put a Mr. Yuck sticker on the door. no kidding... Then.... start writing out your grocery list.... Bring a healthy snack to work so when they start noshing... you can too, only it will be a granola or an apple.. Start a walking plan..... Walk around the block four times... if you can't walk far. Drink a LOT of water..... Take your blood pressure.... and then do it all again the next day.... It takes about 21 days to make a habit and 21 days to break a habit.... There are many fine people in MFP..... so.. know that you are not alone... Best wishes...

    What works for me is planning my meals in advance, typically the night before but sometimes farther in advance. I don't just plan to eat beneath my calorie limit, I plan exactly how I will do so each day. It's a huge help.

    Ever since I started again, same here. But last night, for example, my bf accidentally ate my dinner and I had work. So instead of getting some crap food, I hit up the 7/11 and picked out a few keto snacks to get me through the night. I had almonds and 2 jerky sticks on hand with a coke zero and made it through the night without feeling like I was starving. But that was "an emergency" normally I cook my own food and portion it out and plan ahead. Tomorrow I'm going to cook and freeze some meals in advance too

    I love the idea about separating the food. I'm going to put my stuff away from my son and my husband's. Thank you! :)

    I just started 3 days ago. I feel as if I could have written your post! I complete understand how you feel. Please feel free to add me as a friend. I did WW 3 years ago lost 35 pounds and was feeling great then hurt my back and gain it all back and then some. :( We can start out slow, make new habits and then add on more good habits as time goes on. This weight thing is a marathon not a sprint.
