Hey Everybody!! I'm new to posting on the site, but I've been reading around here for about 3 months now, trying to get enough courage to start a diet, yet again!! After reading most of the posts, I think I've figured out what I've been doing wrong all these years!! It can't be a diet, it's gotta be a lifestyle, and my brain has finally caught up to that reality, HAHA!! So, here goes nothing!! Can't wait to take the journey with all of you!!
It's so hard to view eating healthy as a lifestyle, especially if you, like me use food as an emotional crutch. Whenever I think of starting a diet/lifestyle change I automatically freak out because I know that when I remove that crutch I have to deal with some emotional issues I have been trying to push off. Also, I tend to equate diet with deprivation. I'm not all that good with moderation. I hope you are able to make those small changes on a daily basis that will lead to a lifestyle change instead of just another diet.

being on a diet is really hard if you love to eat all the good things like cakes cookies and candy bars but if you want to look good you have to sacrifes something for the good
