Okay, I know it's only the first day of the diet, and I know I should have more than 24 hours of will-power....but I don't! I hate being on a diet! Of course, my title is a bit misleading, as I have never actually lost weight....or at least any significant amount. I'm such a wimp. I equate food with every emotion that I have. The smell of a freshly brewed cup of joe=comfort and happiness. The smell of a bakery=childhood memories of mom in the kitchen, the house warm with love and a feeling of security that will never be matched again. The smell of maple syrup and pancakes=well, I think it might be what Heaven smells like. I know I am an emotional eater, and that is probably the worst kind. But it's true what they say....food won't let you down. It won't judge, it will never leave, and it is always consistant. My usual excuse is that life is to short to deprive yourself of the good stuff. I still believe that, but I also want to feel good and look good. I'm not huge, I am a size 14/16, which isn't bad, but I am not comfortable with it anymore. My husband says, "Let's diet together, so we can be skinny one more time before we are old." Gee, what an uplifting thought! I say, lets try to "get healthy" so we can "get old". Anyhoo, I just needed to vent. I feel better now. And on the upside, I stayed within my point range and managed to do the 2 mile walk this morning. At least my eating is done for the day....and breakfast is only 12 hours and 32 minutes away!

I think that if you just keep the walking up and start seeing the results (and there will be results as long as you walk at a fast pace), you'll find the diet easier. Your fat will turn to muscle which burns calories faster. I think exercise is the real ticket to getting into shape. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
I agree with Karen I lost 63lbs in 3 months 6 years ago. No diet I was pigging out. I worked 3-11. So I would pig out all before 4:30pm. Candy, gum cake, big huge breakfast, I would eat my dinner from night before for breakfast, then lettuce tomatoand mayo on toast for lunch and two candy bars for dinner, lots of water and one 20 minute walk aday. I would suck on lifesavers all night. Packs! I went from 190 to 130 in 3 short months. It happened so fast my clothes fell off me.
There's nothing like the feeling of a Boston Cream Donut and a glass of milk in your tummy right before bed! All warm, comfy and cozy! I wish I could be bulemic... but I LOVE the way it feels my my tummy! Darn it! Lisa
