It is a one day at a time for all of us. Keep your spirits up. I just recently stopped weighing everyday. Weight fluctuates, but who wants to see it go up. I totally understand.

Great attitude. It’s funny how so much of weight-loss is mental and not diet at all. I started on my journey on Feb 26. I’m down 18.6 lbs. By no means is the weight melting off. That said, I feel good and I’m in it for the long-haul and lifestyle change. I have a big goal of dropping another 7 lbs by July 15.

Just think of it as a journey. You are going to have your ups and downs. My body weight fluctuates on a daily basis, so instead I have short term goals on a weekly and monthly basis. As long as I see progress, along the journey, I know I'm on the right track. I was overweight at 340 and my body was giving out. I had think of where I wanted to be years from now and my weight was preventing me from my dreams. That gave me motivation to do something. I can't worry about what others think of my body, this one thing I'm doing for myself. Just think of your health and where you want to be years from now.

You can do this weight loss thing! Persistence, logging, deficits, etc. I certainly don't weigh everyday, though I have read countless articles on how that keeps a person accountable. I personally think it soul sucks. Weight fluctuates from hour to hour. Losing is a journey. It didn't come on over night, even though it feels like it sometimes. Good for you starting your journey to better health.

I understand all about depression that comes from hating your own look. It took ages to accept myself but I still feel bad being overweight. I do not give up, so please dont you give up too. it helps so much that here we can talk to eachother and support eachother. Just write whenever you feel like and someone will always answer and support you. I know that it helps me a lot. people here are nice and so helpful. So welcome and go for it!!! One step each day. ☺️
