I like many people have suffered with weight problems for most of my life. I don't know what it was, but recently something inside of me woke up. I looked in the mirror and realized, "I don't want to look like this any more!" Before when I'd look in the mirror, I'd get depressed and end up binging on junk food. This time was different, I decided that I was going to take control over my problem. I got on the computer and looked up different programs to find the one that best suited me. I ended up finding many that sounded good but they were so expensive.

Finally, I decided I was going to make up my own diet using a combination of things.
First off and the most important is exercise. I know most people hate to work out but give it a while and eventually it will feel less like a chore and more like an every day thing. Secondly, you have to drink a lot of water. I drink about a gallon each day. I cut out soda and juice and when I'm in the mood for something bubbly, I drink seltzer water. I drink 3 Scan Diet shakes a day, they are very filling and contain soy. I take two metabolife in the morning and two before lunch. And for dinner I have either a smart ones from weight watchers or a healthy choice frozen dinner. I exercised for about 1 1/2 hours a day 7 days a week. The first week, I lost five pounds!
I also think it's important to surrounds yourself with positive people. When you are alone or with people who make you feel bad all the time then it will be harder to succeed. That's why I looked for an online support group. In the hopes to meet people like me and build positive friendships. So anyone out there that's wants to have a friend that will support you in all you do, someone who will encourage you and give you motivation then answer back I will reply.
