Trying to get motivated!

Hi all! I am really trying to get motivated and excited about South Beach. I keep thinking about starting, but I haven't committed. I know this is something that I need to do, because as I get older my old diet plan of "eating whatever I want as long as I don't exceed my daily allotted calories" isn't working anymore.

The problem is that I am a junk food junkie, and I know I will have trouble sticking to this. I also know that if I stick to the plan I will be successful, have more energy, and my sugar cravings will diminish. It seems like it should be a no-brainer for me, but I am struggling.

If anyone could give me a pep talk and let me know how SB has helped them, I would be very grateful!!!

Thanks,
Jacy

Well, first, to be totally honest....you really have to want to do this for you.

Hi Jacy,


South Beach has helped me in so many ways, especially health-wise.

A lot of us have doubts at first, I was very hesitant when I first came here and my very first post was along the lines of "I don't think I could ever be successful at this" Well, 3 years, 67lbs and 7 sizes lost later - here I am. You can read more details about my story and see how South Beach benefited me from the links in my signature. But basically it changed my entire life for the better, my health, my marriage, my family, my self-esteem - physically and mentally I am newer, stronger person than I was 3 years ago.

Good luck and I hope you decide to make the decision to do this!
