Need Help, SUPPORT!!

Options
HI, new here...second time around. Didn't give it a real chance last time, got depressed and quit. I'm ready to do this thang and need all the help and support I can get. I have about 50lbs to lose..more would be great but I just want to be able to look in the mirror and not scream at the person I've let myself become. I hate it!!

    Don't hate what you see. I think the hardest part is being completely honest with your food diary. That way, you can look back and see the days you went off track and learn from it. Some people even log their food before they eat and it helps to keep them from overeating or eating bad foods. Also, join a group - that way other people help to motivate you and keep you accountable!!!

    You can do this!! You just have to stay positive.

    I think logging your food is a HUGE eye opener... atleast it was for me. I have learned that it is not going to be an overnight thing and you just need to stay positive and try to stick with it. I have just recently been adding "MFP friends" and I think it helps. Sending a friend request :)

    Best of luck in your journey!

    We've all been there, some days it's so frustrating and we feel like giving up. I'm so proud of you for beginning your journey again, keep fighting the good fight! I know you can do it! : )

    You can do this. God wants you to be healthy. It doesn't matter what you weigh as long as you are healthy. Remember, even Marilyn Monroe was a size 12. So you don't have to be a perfect size 6 no matter what this world tells you. I just joined today and I am excited about what I will feel like this time next year. I will be praying for you.

    Hi!
    My second time around too. The first time was great! I lost the weight that I wanted to lose but fell behind on controlling my eating. I am going to do this again and when I get to my goal, I am going to stick to it!!
    You can do it!!

I WISH YOU WELL IN YOUR JOURNEY AND BELEIVE ME I WISH MY JOURNEY WAS ONLY 50 LBS! Just the same weight loss doesnt happen over night....I made my husband take the scale and he will only give it to me on Sundays....And stop screamin at yourself.....you treat yourself right and your body will treat you right!!!

    You deserve a pat on the back for getting back on the horse and coming back. That's the hardest part of anything new or challenging -- to keep at it and not give up! You CAN do this. If you are patient and honest with yourself, it will happen. Welcome back and let's kick that 50 pounds to the curb!!!!!!!!
