I can relate to your fear... I was struggling so much with my wt before I started, I was depressed, stressed out, newly diagnosed with diabetes, and afraid I would be fat forever...
Well, this is totally working for me!!!! I feel better than I've ever felt! So much energy! and no more diabetes or depression...
Once you get started and start seeing results, you'll gain confidence too. Again, it takes planning and preparing everyday and embracing all the changes and hanging in there even when you want to quit. I hope you don't let your fears get in the way of your success. You CAN do this!
