    I haven't logged meals in a very long time, but want to get back into it. I agree motivation helps, so I'll help you if you help me :)

    Hi Dian, I am with you on this journey. We don't have to turn our heads too far to see we have a lot of fellow travelers! I also log, I just started, and am looking for friends who will encourage. I am glad to meet you and know you can do it. When you feel like reaching for a bad snack, reach for your computer instead and read posts. I have just been dieting a week, but one thing that really helped was making a huge salad (I mean, huge, with two heads of lettuce, cucumber, grated carrots, bell peppers, other veggies) and then sealing it in a Ziplock bag in the fridge (I try to get all the air out). It's been so nice to have it made, and the first thing I do at nearly every meal is make sure that half my plate is covered with this salad. So that's my tip for week one. I also keep thinking how nice it will be in the fall and at the holidays to be a thinner me; it gives me a visualization, and for whatever reason that helps. Best of luck to you. You got this.
