It's easy because it's all laid out before you. The hard part is getting your mind around saying 'no' around old habits. You'll find tons of support on this site.

Good luck.

This is exactly what I needed to hear. Lots of stressors lately and not having the food to rely on has been a challenge. Through IP I think I finally understand the difference between wanting something and craving (or needing) something. Thank God that I have had enough control because of being in Ketosis. One month in and 14 pounds down. I am really doing it! Don't know that I could have come this far without 3chicks.

There was an excellent thread on the emotional impact of weight loss. I am going to startit up again, but here's the link to it.

It took 4 months for me to reach a goal I have been striving for for 32 years. I am pretty happy this morning...I may go try on my wedding dress! :

Awesome! What an inspiration!
