Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Sherlyn, I know it's hard. I know I am new here and don't know your story but I can tell you this, you are worth it! If you take care of you, you will feel better and be happier and then it is a wonderful circle, others will be too. Also, don't be so result oriented. Work on habits, changing little things and the weight will come off. Once you have the habits down it becomes soo much easier. I don't diet, I just try to eat better. Some days I do some I don't. I don't beat myself up about it, I just try to do better the next day. Four or 5 lbs a mo is do able but don't beat yourself up if you don't. Even if you stay the same you have done better, you didn't gain, right? :-) The thing is being balanced and moderation. Just take it one day at a time.
