I've been on my diet for 23 days and I have no one to lean on for support. My fiance still eats his damn candy right in front of me. I watch my kids eat cupcakes and just ask "well is it good? Please, describe the taste of frosting". I have only been drinking water, I walk for 25 mins a day on my lunch break. I cut out all sweets and I stick to a 1500 calorie diet. I have lost 8lbs but I'm still so damn discouraged!!! I could just cry. I gained a pound this morning. How the **** is this even possible??? I'm doomed to be fat forever. It's so depressing

I feel the same way! I think it took discipline for me to stop caring what someone else was eating. I have only been on my diet for 1 month and it wasn't until 2 weeks ago that I finally lost weight, 10 lbs! But cooking 2 and even 3 different meals for me, my kids, and my husband helped. I hated it at first. But I know that if I eat what they eat, I will stay fat and could even die from all that crap. I want to be there for them a long time. I think that when they say "you have to work HARD to lose weight" it's definately the truth, mentally and physically!!
