Hello & welcome!!! A few things that helped me:
* one person's plan or ideas don't work for everyone - you have to find what feels right to YOU, something you can stick to forever
* a bad meal or a bad day isn't the end of the world, but it isn't a reason for a feeding frenzy free-for-all either LOL Catch it quick and turn it around, as soon as you can
* day after day is what wins the race!
* the only time you're crazy is when you do the same exact thing over and over and expect a different outcome -- if you've lost & gained weight before, think of changing things up so you don't end up in the same place !
* have some FUN - it's not all a drag! and take PIX of yourself along the way to document everything, and to get encouragement the days you feel down.
