I totally agree with Celticcr; one must stay away from fad diets. I've been struggling with my weight since I can remember, and it’s hard, specially when others around you eat whatever they want and you feel like you are "not normal".
I think that we should get our minds in "changing our eating habits" and not dieting. The main thing though, is to really know ourselves and realize that we can not eat whatever we want to eat because our systems our not the same as others. It took time for me to realize that I should do something about my weight. But what really helped me (and I'm hoping this could help some of you too), is to set small goals, and look forward on a reward, for example, a new dress, new pair of jeans, maybe a nice weekend with you're husband in a resort, the point is to keep focused and motivated. And motivation is the key. I would suggest to get some support too. The forums like his one are very very helpful, because you can openly talk about you’re feelings, and sometimes we tend to hide our feelings to others so we don’t have to face the fact that we have a problem with loosing weight.
So to make this short, I would like to share my advices:
1.- Face the fact that you are going to do something to change you’re eating habits.
2.- Keep small goals in mind and reward yourself when you get to you’re goal.
3.- Involve someone else on you’re journey, (you’re husband, friend, forum buddies) to keep motivated.
4.- Don’t despair, we all know It’s hard, we all have been there and done bad things. Take one day at a time. And picture yourself as the person who is changing and how successful you are, because now you just made the first and most important thing: You decided to do something about it.
Goog luck!
