Hey there, dont let the feeling of defeat get to you. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. I know its hard, I have been there too. But hey, your not alone. What do you plan on doing for exercise? I would love to have an online buddy.
welcome to this great forum of support, encouragement and motivation.its all here.
Do not let the task ahead bog you down. I am in a similar boat so I totally understand.
Listen to your body ,eat when you are hungry not because you are bored or feeling lonely or depressed or stressed about something else.
I was a emotional eater all my life and relied on food for comfort. I am trying to change that, instead of turning to food now I go out for a walk to clear my head.
Believe me it will come clear to you as you become more self aware.
Try to cut back carbs for a week and replace them with veggies and see a difference, then try cutting on soda for a week and replace with fresh juice of veggies n fruits.
small changes make a big difference. All the best. we all in this journey together .
I really cannot say enough about myfitnesspal. A free app you can download to your computer or it works on all of the smart phones, android--I phone, etc. A 3 million food database, including fast food items. Making it so easy to keep track of your daily calories needed to achieve your goal weight.
I also wear a Jawbone UP very similar to Fitbit that syncs with myfitnesspal to let me know how many calories I am burning in a day.
Hopefully this helps you, it sure did me. I am only a few pounds from my goal weight now, and plan on keeping track for the rest of my life with these two items.
