I'm so happy to find this site. Lately, my eating habits have been awful. I know that I need to stay focused because I have type 2 diabetes, and only I can get it only control. There are times, however, that I have allowed my eating habits to get way out of control. I get so discouraged at times because I have so far to go to get to my goal weight. I know that I must change my thinking first, and then the healthy eating will follow. It's so good to know that I'm not alone. I appreciate this wonderful site! I know that I just need to continue to believe in myself and not give up.

Welcome to the boards! You're right, this is a great place to come for support and advice. It can get discouraging (and overwhelming!) when you think of all the weight that you have to lose. I try not to look at the big picture (no pun intended lol!) and instead break it up into 5 or 10 pound increments. It definitely helps to keep me motivated. Good luck and hope to see more of your posts :)

Hello Akeeyah! Welcome to our little world! There is a saying about "taking one bite of the elephant at a time". Much easier than trying to swallow the whole thing at once! That's how I'm approaching this weight loss thing. One little piece (pound) at a time. That way it's not so overwhelming. Eventually all of those little pounds lost add up to a lot of pounds lost! Glad to have you join us!! (I just started biting the elephant on July 5th!)
