Help!? Guidance/Knowledge Needed!

[cactusflower]

I am hoping that one of you lovely ladies may have been in the same situation I am in or at least know the "answer".

I know that I (and even moreso WANT) to lose some weight. I know what foods to eat and what not to eat. My problem is actually putting it into action!!! WTF?!?!?!?!? I find it so incredibly frustrating!

Is it a psychological? I am finally happy again in that I am taking a program at school that I really enjoy that will land me in the great career I want. So, I don't know what is standing in my way..... If anyone has some answers, suggestions I would LOOOOOVE to know

for everyone

When you are just starting out, it takes a while to get in the groove...It takes a lot of effort etc. Once you get a few weeks under your belt, it just becomes a lifestyle for you and it becomes a lot more routine and easier.

You are definitely not alone...We've ALL been there!

When I first started I made small changes then bigger and bigger. I still struggle but it's easier.
First thing I did was white pasta to WW and white rice to basmati or brown. Then my bread when to wheat and then I cut sugary cerals then potato chips etc....

It takes a while and by all means make sure if you are craving something have alittle, in moderation. Or Make a healthy version of what your craving.
Make small cuts and you'll notice a difference. The biggest thing is dont quit trying eventually it becomes the lifestyle.
Don't quit either, don't let a "mistake" turn into a day and pick up AT YOUR NEXT MEAL.
Also, don't expect the weight to come off all at once, try not to watch the scale, weight should come off 1-2 pounds a week, usually higher in the first week to month.

Good luck!!
