I have been thinking about writing this for awhile now, and I think it is time. Even if no one reads it besides me, I think this is something that can help me.
This week I have begun a lifestyle change....again...but this time, I have to stick to it. I have tried to eat more healthy foods, and a big thing for me is to keep a food journal. Any of the times I have successfully lost weight in the past, I have kept a food log. For the past couple of years, I have started keeping a food log and then stopped after a week or so. This time, I am sticking with it. I have an app on my iPod called "Lose It!" where I can log my food and exercise. There is a site online, too, but I have not yet checked it out. I will; I just haven't had time to do so yet.
I feel like I am in a good place with this. I can exercise regularly, and for now I am motivated to eat well. I may need help with that in the future, but I have enlisted the help of friends to get me through those times. Hearing positive responses from so many friends when I posted on Facebook reminds me that another thing I need to work on changing is asking for help. I have many people around me willing to help, and I don't have to beg to get it!

Go for it! Looking forward to celebrating your successes along the way!
Never be afraid to ask for help. Losing weight is hard but very doable with good support. And a good food journal. :-)
