Hi! Finally took the plunge.......I'm so not feeling good about myself at this time in my life. And I'm tired of it. I have placed my 1st order of home delivery meals thru dietgourmet.com. Been all over this site and the internet all this past weekend.
I mainly chose DG because they are local and I can pick up my order. Now I just have to get mentally prepared to change my lifestyle. I've been in a terrible rut for several years now due to several emotionally charged setbacks. This has been the hardest time in my life......ever!
Baby steps..........big sigh..........breath..........I NEED POSITIVE CHANGE!!! (telling myself)
Welcome and congrats on taking the first step. This site has been very helpful for me and I hope you will find it the same. There will be good days on your journey and some not so good days but as long as you keep your goal in mind you will get there. I too am a Texan!
Baby steps are good. And one of the best things you can do for yourself is to acknowledge it when you've made a good choice. Mentally, or even out loud. When I remember to think/say something like, "Good for you, Ellis! You ate some fruit instead of that chocolate bar," or, "That's great! You biked for 20 minutes!" I really feel the pat on the back, and I remember it. We're so apt to criticize ourselves, and we're so slow to give praise.
