OMG stopped keeping track of what I eat and didn’t care. I said it was my birthday and I was going to eat what I wanted. Well that 1 day turned into a week.

Hi everybody. So I am kind of new to this whole lower sugar and lower calorie diet thing. It is very hard for me to cut back on sugar and salt and calories. I eat WAY too much sugar and snacks on a regular basis. I almost don't even want to know how much sugar I eat. Part of the problem is having candy in view and within reach. So, I hid my candy out of view and I am hoping that will help. But mostly what I need is the motivation to cut back on all that plus to increase my exercise. I have a bit of a belly to the point of people wondering if I am pregnant and the answer is NO I am definitely not pregnant. I just carry my belly fat in the front. So, everybody, I need support and encouragement to continue with this diet. Oh geez I called it a diet. Is that part of the problem. I used to hear calling it a diet can be a bit of a curse. So, I am cutting back and increasing my exercise.
My name is Melissa by the way.

Hi Melissa, I know how you feel. I have been trying to keep track of my calories for quite sometime now. It works, but I am losing weight very slowly, and I am having a hard time sticking with it. I too, go off my tracking for a week at a time and find then I gain a few pounds back. One night I sat here thinking that I was so sick of having to watch what I eat, I just wanted to eat, and eat, and eat. Oh well, the next day I started counting again. Hang in there, I know it is hard, but worth it in the end.

Deejoan: I hope it will be worth it and you are right. This is a big goal for me, but I have a long way to go and am only moving in reverse right now. I gained some back, well technically I lost 1 pound a couple days ago, but now yesterday I had tons of snacks and sugar. So, that is the reason I set a goal of making an attempt at trying NOT to eat candy for 1 whole day at a minimum. So, someone recommended to me to try to eat fruit instead. So, today I will try that.
