Hello All:
I have been here before, but's it has been a long, long while since I've been on. I'm still severly overweight, and still having all the same issues I had before: overeating, weak on the willpower, but I so want to lose. I am so unhappy with myself sometimes I can't stand it, but no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get past that threshold. You know the one: God that tastes so good, how can I not eat it?
Anyway, I am really hoping to stick to at least one thing right now, and that would be the message board. Maybe by daily posts, I can get something moving here.
Hope everyone is well.
Have a great day!

Well, you know what they say about....nothing tastes as good as healthy feels. Just start somewhere, and keep it up....and before you know it, you'll reach your weight goals. Good luck to you.
Forte
you can do this just gotta keep chanting that when you feel as if you can't!
Good Luck with the losing
I have to throw all the bad food away so I am not even tempted. Then make out a menu including lots of snack so you aren't hungry. I think once you start finding some success it will be easier to avoid temtation. Forte is right. It only tastes good for a few seconds,but you will feel so much better if you avoid it. Now if I could only take that advice myself.
I hope you find your motivation. sharla
Sadly, I am living at home with my parents now (going back to school and I need help with my son), and my mother is also severely overweight, with no plans of changing. So she buys all the bad stuff that I love, and I have no will power with temptation all around me. I try to convince her we need to change, but she does not have the desire right now, and who knows if she'll ever have it.
Either way, it's a daily struggle living there, so one day a time is all I can handle right now. I don't want to look to far into the future and then beat myself up over unrealistic goals.
You don't want your son picking up on bad eating habits (altho I dn't know how old he is, sorry!)and separating your food from hers might help.
Just an idea. Good luck and hang in there!
