I am totally proud of myself since I have started back. I have somewhere found willpower inside myself and that is satisfaction enough for me. I was going to go gung-ho at first and do the whole exercise/diet thing....but after looking back and seeing a pattern....this always sets me up for failure. So for now, I am practicing the healthy eating habits. Learning to make wise choices and stick to them, and get into a sort of eating "routine" as I prefer to call it. After I know that I can maintain my calories/points for a good length of time, then I will gradually start working in exercise. That way, I won't be in such shock and give up. I think my new outlook is "I didn't gain the weight overnight, so I can't expect to lose it overnight." This is very hard to grasp. I think we all want to wake up the next morning and see the fat melting off. It doesn't work that way, and it just leads to unhealthy thoughts when we climb on the scale. A healthy lifestyle is just as much mental as it is physical, so that's my focus right now. Eat healthy, and train myself to be positive :)

You are right, it is easily as much mental as physical. I rarely eat because of hunger, usually it is boredom or something? else,
Way to be postive though, good luck.

I'm high fiving you because that's the attitude that I'm starting to feel I need to empower myself with. No more quick fixes! Just a healthy lifestyle. Everything will follow from that.

Absolutely! One of the biggest changes I have made is making sure I drink all my water - just doing that is a big step towards healthier lifestyle! You've got a great attitude!

You know, that's actually how I started. I was so bad with the exercise at the beginning. I started with in mid-August with just eating the right way and didn't actually start working out regularly until October. It really does help if you get one of the things going first.
