Hi brsmurk,
I feel like we're in very similar boats to one another. I remember checking my bmi one day and realizing that I crossed over into the obese range. That for me was tragic! I don't want to be like every other person in my family, killing myself with food. I want to be healty and active and to not be restricted by my weight. I want my boyfriend to look at me and ALWAYS find me sexy... not just say it to humor me. You won't stay true to your diet if you can't motivate yourself...but, I suggest looking at your family closely and see what you might become if you give up. Hope this helps : )

yeah i should find alot of motivation in that alone. well see how this works

Me too, I am currently eating a lot! I've been eating small amount of food but now I'm not.
I keep reminding myself that the next meal will be in small amount but then again I failed.

Maybe, its because I'm so stressed right now at work. But I'll try again and update this post once the try is successful.

Can anyone tell me too how to do it?

My family is dotted heavily with over weight people...and people with diabetes. Last year before I turned 24 i was diagnosed with diabetes type 2. When I got home from the hospital I cried. My dad has it, whom I seem to take after whether I like it or not. Plus loads of other family members have weight issues and borderline diabetes and all the like.

It scared the beejeez outta of me, that was my motivation.
Think of it this way, If there's family members suffering from something and you don't want to end up in their position, keep them front and center in your mind for motivation so you can be stronger..and possibly be motivation for others.

I'm doing loads better now, they took me off my medication. I'm so afraid of getting sick well before I should, and watching my family with the range of problems they go through was enough to scare me into losing weight. I've dropped 60 pounds since august, and my levels are all perfect
