its hard i'm kinda either mind totally in it and i like obsess over every ounce lost... or i go the opposite not on a diet so eat eat eat... take it one pound at a time and the rest take care of them selves... after a few pounds down... it wil soon be a stone... and then another one. you just have to try and stay focused ... you can see that by all the success stories on this site
ive tried every diet under the sun and i always gave up.
so im trying alli, which u can buy at a chemist or like me get off your doctor. basicly you eat a low fat diet, no more than 1400 cals a day and no more than 5g of fat per 100g of food. only allowed 15g of fat a meal. it seems pretty harsh but ive just finished my first week and actually had to make myself eat to keep the cals up. your not depriving either just doing a swap ive lost 9lbs in a week i totally recommend it
You have to want to do it, then pick a diet and plan plan plan, plan shopping/menus/meals/exercise etc I still have a long way to go but I'm still focused, good luck xx
Lots of luck to you. The longest journey starts with just one step. You have now taken a very important one in your life.
Set lots of mini goals as this is a great way of motivating yourself. You really can do this once you get yourself into the right mindset.
