Don't be so hard on yourself. I started and lasted through the summer and by the time it was time for me to go back to work it went out of the window. I really want to get down to 160 and maybe smaller. I felt so much better when I was eating better. I have struggled for years with a weight problem but I know there is a way out. I don't live around any family so when I get stressed out I just eat. My weakness is candy and cookies, just the sweet stuff. And I also love my coffee. So we will begin New Years day.Do you have yahoo messenger or another messenger service. We could chat everyday just to keeep each other motivated.
