[QUOTE="DDD, post: 487975, member: 35"] I think most of the diet battle is inbetween our personal ears. Getting psyched to take one step at a time and then feeling proud once that step becomes habit triggers the motivation to take another step.Each of us different and what we can alter differs alot depending on our habits. Going from being a "pig out" queen to a "thinking eater" has been really hard for me. I flat out love food and I have always eaten like a lumberjack. Fortunately for me I was a lean machine...until I got in my 40's, lol. For example I decided that I would eat Shredded Wheat for breakfast every day. I like it, it's healthy, and most important I no longer think about whether I'll have eggs or bagels or whatever. That was my first step. In addition, lol, it's cheap. Some days I have a piece of fruit and others I don't. Boring??? Yep. But after a month or less I adapted. Then I moved on to removing high calorie/fat items from my diet meal by meal. Slowly but surely I reached my weight goal. by the way, having a husband does make it a little more challenging. I do prepare dinner every night for husband and difficult child and sometimes I can't resist eating part of the meal that is not healthy..but that's OK, too. My goal is to make overall changes and an occasional cheat doesn't derail the goal. in my humble opinion it's not really possible to get a quick fix and trying to just adds to much stress.
