All i can say is, before you can actually lose weight,you need to change your MINDSET. I realized that it is not about diet or exercise alone. It is all about changing your life. The last time i weigh myself was feb 14. I am 192.01 pounds. I honestly dread weigh in sessions. I dont like to face reality. But sometimes,there will come a point in your life when you knw that "this has got to stop" .At first its all about the clothes and self confidence. Being overweight is hard. I can hardly buy or wear my old clothes. That really made me depressed thats why i use food to cover up deeper issues within myself. It took awhile before i was able to realized that if there is one primary reason why i should lose weight it should be for my overall health. I dieted before, wayback when i was in college. It worked but the program is very restricitve and i dont exercise, so i gained the weight back. This is a lifestyle change. This is not a race. This is something that i would want to maintain for the rest of my life. So whats on my mind right now? Ditch the negative thinking and just do it. I am glad that i was able to jog this afternoon in our neighborhood. Being outside your comfort zone may seem painful, but it is only the way out. You just have to have faith in yourself. You have to FORCE yourself if necessary. I am an emotional eater, that's why. Feelings are so subjective and fleeting. Sometimes you just have to stick with the facts. Facts dont change. It is painful but it is honest and sincere. It won't lie to you. Right now i have this fear inside me but i'm trying my best to be optimistic. Negative thoughts will be dissolved if i stick to the program no matter what! We'll see!
