willpower is what you need eat healthey and keep watch off the cals in the food you eat,do what have you been eating ??? breakfast? dinner?tea?

I am not a weight watcher. I do something similar but on my own. I mostly watch calories and try to watch carbs, fat, fiber, etc in general. I'm mostly aiming to clean up my foods (but realize it will never be totally clean). I can't offer support in the WW way (though there is a board here specifically for that) but I can post what I just wrote for another newbie.

1. If you blow it with a food or two, don't let the whole day derail. If you do, don't let it spoil the rest of the week. It really is just a blip in time.
2. Make a master plan of foods you or are willing to eat that are diet friendly. The more detailed this list is, it will help you see that you have variety available, keep you from getting stuck in a rut, and help you shop.
3. Change 1 thing at a time. Start with journaling, master it. Then counting calories, master it. Drink more water, master it. Then make your foods more healthy, master it. Start Excercising, master it. ETC. You can do more than one thing but don't make it too overwhelming.
4. JOURNAL. THere are good free online journals that help make it easier. It's also pretty empowering to see your numbers visually. If you see more good numbers than bad numbers, that just feels great!
5. Treat this as a lifelong health changing habit instead of the fastest way to get the scale to go down. Generally you want to see the scale going down or inches melting (if you measure inches) but it isn't your only nor should it even be your main goal.
6. Celebrate your NSV (non-scale victories). These are SOOOO important. They help you feel good about yourself and let you know there are other changes to this habit changing lifestyle. For example, if you normally pick more processed snacks, an NSV would be that you picked ready to eat sugar snap peas (fresh veggie).
7. Seek Support Often!!

ALL of these should be good advice on the WW plan. I'm no expert though.

Welcome to 3FC. Coming to seek support is a GREAT start!

DeafinleySmart has some great suggestions, so I will just say WELCOME to a fellow Junebug (I think there are three of us now )

The fast food habit is a hard one to break, the sweets are even harder. It's one day at a time, but you will get to a point where it's not a second thought. Focus on the fact that it's a lifestyle change and not a temporary fix. You can do it!

Check out the WW section and the Food section- there is no shortage of good recipies over there.

And again, welcome!

Junebug - the other one - beat me to it...what's up with all the junebugs here? Is there something special about the name that I'm missing. It's so confusing for me... hehe...

A big to you, Junebug222! You're in good company. Nose around and see what other people are doing. That's what I did when I joined in May and I've picked up so many valuable tips on healthy eating and simple exercises.
