in Introduce Yourself
Hey! I have been struggling with my weight for several years now but I'm definitely ready to commit to being healthier and lose about 40-50 pounds. I need some friends that can encourage me. I struggle with not knowing what to cook for the family. Any suggestions on food that actually tastes good but is still healthy?

    I too struggled with my weight, for more than twenty years; I accumulated 50 excess pounds. I believed I just had to be determined, and motivated, and have the right kind of support, and get into a habit of "eating right" and exercising.

    That was all lies. You can eat anything you want and lose/maintain weight, you don't have to eat anything inparticular, you don't have to exercise, you just have to eat less. If you feel deprived, you'll quit at first opportunity.

    I don't know if you have a Pinterest account, but I usually search healthy along with whatever ingredient I'm using (chicken, turkey, beef, etc). And if you eat foods that are good for you in correct portions, you aren't going to deprive yourself. And fun food (chocolate!!) in moderation. :) Don't forget to leave room for a little fun!
