So I've been to this site numerous times and I finally decided to actually join and start a blog.

With the new year coming I figured that now is the best time to get my butt in gear. New year... new me. Two big life events are happening for me in September 2013 - getting married and turning 30. I know that I can't do this alone... my fiance is horrible with telling me no when it comes to sweets. My main issue is that I want dessert everyday. I need to learn to substitute the unhealthy, empty carb foods for the healthier versions. I really do like a lot of healthy foods, but lets face it... put a bowl of broccoli and a pint of ice cream in front of me and guess which one I"m going to choose.

I'm hoping that I can make some friends on here for support, and read blogs of people who are having the same issues that I'm having. I'm really looking forward to this journey because I know this time I'm going to be successful.

Welcome to 3FC! Good luck with all of your goals and CONGRATS on your wedding!

Welcome and Good luck on your journey!

Congrats on your wedding! I just got engaged. Looking forward to planning everything.

I'm the same way. I crave dessert a lot. Calorie counting and tracking my foods helps me stay on track and makes me think twice before eating sweets. Sometimes I try to brush my teeth, that way I know it won't taste good.

Welcome! i'm new here too, good luck with your weight loss journey...you can do it!

I wish you the best. And once you begin to make some healthy habits, you will be able to choose the broccoli over the ice cream! Been there, done that!!

Thank you all for your comments and welcome wishes I appreciate it! I know I can doooo thissssss
