I'm horrible at commitment. Like I can never stay on a diet more than a day, then it's six months off. So it's huge for me that I've stayed counting points for 14 days in a row
I think it's finally clicked for me that overeating is never going to make me happy - it's just going to make me sick and miserable and embarrassed the rest of my life. I can't constantly live in fear of breaking something, not fitting into seats, not wanting to leave the house because I have nothing to wear, etc. I just want to buy clothes off the rack at normal people stores and not live in fear of getting weighed at the doctor
I use the Ultimate Food Value Diary Plus app on my iPhone and I think it really helps me since my phone is on me almost all day. I'm sure a lot of you use it and can atest to how wonderful it is. It makes it easy and then on Sundays I try to grocery shop and plan. My husband has even lost a little weight just passively because I am dieting and we aren't going out to eat or splurging anymore. One more reason to hate men, he can lose weight simply because I go on a diet
So far I have lost a little over 8 lbs and just started exercising 30-45 mins every day this last week.
