Hello Everyone!
You all have already made the biggest step there is... You reached out and asked for help and support...... that is huge!! So give yourself a pat on the back. As long as we keep trying that is all what matters. Bad habits and weight do not kreep over night and it takes 3 weeks of conscious effort to work on one habit at a time. We gals are very emotional and taking a real good look why we eat in the first place...we eat because we are bored, happy ..... and to also differentiate between truely being hungry and head hunger. that that make a big difference as well, to know when we are hungry because we need food as fuel.
My surgeon told me to throw the word diet out of the window and he was right......we have to eat to live and food can be enjoyed as long as it is in moderation. So .... allow yourself the occasional splurge as long as it is occasional
A journey is the time where you learn healthy habit and get better at it, also work on some of the emotional challenges and do something healthy other than eat.. call a friend, Zumba etc.
Surround yourself with friends and family and Celebrate each little achievement.
Positive affirmation is also a good practice to be proud of who you are and what you have achieved.
