Default Re: Why Am I Scared?

Catrenia...its not silly at all. Its a big committment to make the decision to get control over your weight.

I remember feeling like that when I first started. I remember thinking what if I failed again as I had dozens of times before on other programs?? I didn't trust myself and I felt like a failure.

Take a big breath, get some paper and pencil and write out your plan to succeed. Take baby steps. Its not a race -- its a life-style change. Measure, and utilize the support here for motivation and encouragement. It is so much harder to do this alone, so make lots of friends and surround yourself with people who will cheer you on and want to see you succeed.

Don't fight the program, embrace it. Write out your schedule and put the necessary changes into your daily routine so that you are comfortable and happy. We're all here for you! Best wishes!
