I found this forum about two days ago and there and then decided it was time for me to do something about my overweight. So I browsed through the threads about different kinds of diets, some weight-loss blogs, calorie lists, etc and thought to myself "Jeez, maybe this isn't going to be as hard as I thought it would be". Remember that this is coming from a gal who only just started... Heh heh Silly girl, you might think! I mean that I got a feeling that when I actually started paying attention to what I was eating, I was already losing weight. I can almost feel the pounds falling off me! But of course I know that in these numbers it can be relatively easy to lose the first pounds and then it gets gradually more difficult. We'll see what I think in a week or a month... Luckily I don't have a sweet tooth for anything, drink sodas or fry stuff. My problem is just the plain over-eating. Maybe I should try smaller plates.
Was it like this for you too, when you first started? Did you feel you were way on top of things and it's all easy peas? When did the "reality" hit you, if it did?
