dont be discouraged by other people.. there are many people (sad to say) who do NOT want to see other succeed... but there are people like us who want you to succeed!

that being said, I hope that rather than looking at this as a 'diet' you are looking at this as a way of life.. once you get back on track.. you know it will be OK.. the hardest part is getting back on You know this is the best thing for your health.. keep your goals in mind.. not just weight loss.. but your future. I always remind myself that I want to live a long, healthy, generous life with my husband..

take it one day at a time.. otherwise they are liable to hit you all at once THAT can be scary and make you feel like the hydrant rather than the dog haha..

ok enough silliness.. best wishes to you I hope to see you around the boards.. dont forget to check out people's journals and fitday logs for inspiration!! also the progress photos..
