Default I know I can do this with your support

Hi
I have 100+ lbs to lose, and I'm going back to school in July. I feel like I've been dieting my entire life, and haven't been getting anywhere (except up). I hope that with the support I get from all of you online and the help from my DH, I will be able to get some of this weight off and hopefully finally reach my weight loss goals!

Welcome to 3FC =)

You're in luck! Even though it's called "3FC on a diet" I don't see many members encouraging "diets".

Diets are ... restrictive, short-term, if you stumble you might as well give up, unsustainable for real life, get burnt out within a month. The list goes on and on.

The changes most members make around here are permanent. Lifestyle changes.

Okay, it might seem like a silly thing to say "it's not a diet it's a lifestyle change", but it's an important silly thing.

A diet has an end date.
A lifestyle change continues for the rest of our lives.
A diet is restrictive and makes us feel deprived.
A lifestyle change incorporates the things we want while teaching us moderation.
A diet has us thinking we fail when we make a mistake. We have to be "perfect" on a diet.
A lifestyle change allows us to pick ourselves up from a stumble and to make a better choice the very next meal.

You don't have to plunge into a bunch of changes the first week. You can take it one step at a time. Changing one thing each week until a few months down the line you're looking at food and activity in an entirely new light.

Commit to something the first week. And then follow through. You can do this!
