Perhaps you are overwhelmed by thinking of the process of losing the whole amount of wieght you want to lose. My nutritionist is havein me keep a food diary & taking really small steps--like drinking 8 glasses of water a day & 1 piece of fruit. We will slowly add more fruits & veggies into my diet & cut down on the fat (which is my main problem plus portion sizes, oh yeah & eating while bored).

I see the lifestyle counselor tomorrow. I go to a
"wellness" center that focuses on weight loss from all directions: diet (95% of the focus for weight loss according to doc), exercise for increasing health (lower my blood pressure & help with insulin problems), a lifestyle coach, etc. I see the doc each week. She said it would take me about a yr. to lose 50 lbs. due to my meds that promote weight gain, quitting smoking, menopause--so I'm in for a long haul.

She had me write down 20 reasons I will feel better when I lose the weight & I look at them when I'm tempted to eat the wrong food or binge. I understand how you feel.--Suzy
