Default Re: Ready to give up! (vent warning)

I think all of us have been through some form of what you are going through. It's difficult to make any lifestyle change. I think Forrest (FwL) had the best advice. Take a step back and look at what you've done for the last two weeks. If you are eating things that you truly don't like and you don't think you can make this a true lifestyle change, then it's very possible that this is not the WOE for you. While I love the things that I will be giving up for awhile - breads and pastas and potatoes - I also love red meat, poultry, seafood, and many different veggies, so I know I can make this work (and have before). If this weren't true, I'd be on WW or something similar.

Having said that, I think you definitely have the right to vent. Many of us do (just take a look at the journals). There are lots of people willing to give advice, some advice is just very different from others. There are days when I have a right old tantrum in my journal, and then I feel better. Maybe starting a journal would help...
