THIS ENDS NOW!
I'm so tired of being the fat one. The one whose always overlooked and not taken seriously. The one whose expected to be funny and overly nice. The one whose expected to listen to people's problems, but be left on read when it comes to mine. I'm tired of having low confidence. Tired of not being able to find cute clothes that don't cost a fortune. Tired of the back pain, the health problems. THE DOUBLE CHIN. I'm tired of the old me. The me that's made excuses for myself. The me that's felt sorry for myself all these years. The me that's quit over and over when I didn't see results.
No more excuses. I'm done. I'm ready for a new life. A new me. And it starts now. I don't care how long it takes. I'm going to do whatever it takes. I deserve to be happy I deserve to be healthy. Wish me luck.

Good luck! And remember, the goal is to move the baseline… not instantly become a new person.
Eat out 6 days a week now? Try to master 5 days a week or less in January. Then 4 days a week or less in February. And when you eat at home? Frozen pizza or things you LIKE that could replace going out. Drink 5 sodas a day? Try 4 and a diet.
Far too often people try to jump to the end. Get to know yourself. Do things that don’t make you hate the process. It’s a marathon and not a sprint. I’ve been at this for over 2 years; feel a million times better. First step for me was literally to just write down what I ate. Not with a calorie limit. Not with really any goal other than keep track. One step at a time. 2.5 years later I’m over 50 lbs down and been maintaining for 14 months. Make the bar so low you can trip over it so you can start to mend that relationship with your self and build trust
