Well folks here I am again. It's been awhile and I have been slacking big time. Summer hit (sort of) and for some reason I just felt like I could eat whatever I wanted and do absolutely nothing except float around in a pool. Reality set in when I weighed myself the other day and have gained weight... again. The thing is when you are already obese you can gain weight at a rapid speed. I know this weight will come off quickly but I need to work on it. The fact of the matter is that I have been an ostrich. I knew I was eating poorly and eating everything in sight but I stuck my head in the sand and said to HELL with it...well the jokes on me because DAMN!
This morning I was researching Weight Watchers online and it sounds wonderful but then I realized that I already have what I need right here on Fat Secret - I just have to take my head out of the sand and actually use it! I'm always searching for the next best weight lose idea...searching, planning but never doing. This is my biggest problem. I am always trying to find the best work out DVD for obese people or the best diet that claims "lose an obscene amount of weight in a ridiculously short time" they never work and I know this so why do I keep trying to find that miracle when it's right inside of me?! I have the power to lose this weight and get fit. Stop the insanity of looking, searching and planning and just DO IT!!!
Turning over a new leaf - OK, this is me with my head out of the sand. I am no longer an ostrich! There is no miracle drug, diet or exercise program that will get this weight off of me. I am the only one who can do that - I control what I eat, don't eat, how much or how little I exercise or if I exercise at all...it's all me. So here goes nothing folks....

Kudos to you for starting a plan. But you don't want to start any plan, you want to start a plan that you can live with the rest of your life. Quick fixes never lasts. This new way of eating for you will always have to be consistent. WW is a good diet as you get to eat a little of everything in moderation. Whatever plan you choose, make it work for you. Welcome back!!! You can do it and we will cheer you on. Don't do too much at one time i.e., heavy exercising until you get the food part under control. Walking is something everyone can do. Start slow. Walk 15 minutes in one direction and walk back for a week. Following week put 5 more minutes on to that walk (build on it) until you can get to 30 minutes in each direction. All you need is a Walkman/radio and walla... Good Luck!!!

Thank you so much for the support and the great advice! You are right. The changes I make have to be for life. Diets do not work so it has to be a lifestyle change. You gave me some good exercise advice too...thank you for the tips!! So appreciated!!

Dear Charmed, I know the ostrich routine really well. If someone could just bottle up and sell me some willpower -- lol! and C67241, that is definitely true -- I just have trouble finding something I'm willing to stick with permanently. I don't WANNA! (give up all my wonderful food!). But I gotta or I'm gonna kill myself from weight-related health issues....SIGH.
