Like you, this is my second time around, and like you, I realized that I
had better get serious if I planned on getting things back under control
before extreme measures would be needed. I'm also a newbie, since I only
got back in the saddle at the beginning of April.My response will without a doubt be overly simplistic and may miss the
mark completely, because I don't know what factors came into play for you
to gain the weight in the first place, but I have a couple thoughts that
might be helpful to keep in mind. My weight and fitness situation took a
few years to arrive at , and I got it straight in my head that it would be
unrealistic for that to change overnight. With that in mind, I don't put
presure on myself to hit a goal everyday. What I weigh a year from now is
much more important than what I weight a week from now. If I should slip
up, and I did once in the last month due to my anniversary, I will
immediately jump right back into induction the next morning and will try
not to look back. I have the rest of my life to eat and feel the way I
choose to , and it's my choice, no one else's. My choices got me here,
and my choices can also get me out.Another thing I find helpful is to set realistic goals, rather than to
shoot for the moon and feel like I've failed if I don't reach it. I
considered my lifestyle and activity level as best as I could, and I think
that has helped me to hit my modest weekly goal of roughly 4lbs/week.
Each Sunday for the last 5 weeks or so, I've been able to put a check in
the 'did it' column, and that's a big motivator for me.It's your life, and all things being equal, you can do this. Try not to
waste your time worrying about the dietary mistakes that got you here, get
excited about the amazing changes that can happen over the next few
days/weeks/months!Chuck

I have started today my LC adventure. I did do some in the past and must
say I had some results but I did not stick with it for some reason. This
time I am serious but need everybody's help and support. 🙂
This is my last chance before surgery.Giulian
