. I bought a new journal so I am going to write EVERYTHING i put in my mouth down....even how many ounces of water I consume and every stick of gum I chew. Unfortunately, I am allergic to nutra sweet and a lot of the sugar free gums have some form of nutra sweet in it...so I don't really chew that much gum. Hopefully.....this is it for me. I have to take control now...I will be 37 this year...and I don't want to be FAT AND FORTY!! - Re: Nonie & Becky

74.234.74.XWe are two peas in a pod!! I am 38 and pretty much could tell your story...mine is the same. The difference is that I get very NEGATIVE when I FEEL like I can't do something the way that it should be done and I wind up quitting because I feel like a failure before I actually fail. It sounds weird I know, but believe it or not I live my life that way and I want to change that. I guess it is something I learned back in my college days. I apply that to my diets in that I quit before I cheat. I need to be reprogrammed I guess. Post often so I can see YOU DO THIS. If you can do it, I can do it and if I can do it, you can do it. Okay. We'll start together today. - Diane E.

168.213.1.XDieting is not easy. You have to make the comittment and stay focused on what you want the outcome to be. Keeping a journal is a great way to stay on track. Also I find that instead of reaching for food in between your shakes, have your water bottle near by. Water will give you that full feeling and so you wont want to eat. If you still have the urge to eat,find other things to do. Get out of your house and go for a walk. Remove yourself from the temptation. Also make sure that while you are ssing to not have any foods in the house that will trigger you to eat.
You could lose a lot of weight by your birthday. Think of something to reward yourself with once you lose 10 LBS and so on...........
YOU can do this Diane, and we will be here to support you on your weight loss journey!!
