What has been the hardest part of getting started?
Starting a weight management plan can feel intimidating. What has made getting started on one challenging? Have you felt overwhelmed by all of the changes you'd like to make? Is it the fear of disappointment? Or something else?
I no longer see it as another diet/quick temporary fix that doesn't last. The goal is a healthier lifestyle, to work hard at staying focused, and the willingness to keep going even if theres a bump in the road. Its not a weight management plan, its a life plan. Over the yrs I had to fail at all I tried because I couldn't do it on my own willpower. Once the mindset changed, everything else will fall into its proper place...
What a great perspective! I hope you succeed. Gentle hugs. - Lori (Team Member)
The hardest part is starting a new diet/plan and have a long time spouse say " I have seen this before, you are just going to fail again". It is hard to get back up and start a new diet, but I will because I believe one day something will "click" and it will work. Never give up !
Unfortunately, I've seen that a lot. But it can take a few tries to finally be successful inmaking permanent changes, so I'm glad you've persevered and lost so much weight. Hopefully, your spouse will see that and get onboard. In the meantime, know that we're here for you whenever you need us. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
Being exhausted and being on this journey alone were the biggest barriers to getting started for me.

Hi Lori, my sister's name is Lori...you just don't see that name very often. I'm always on the "change" path...I live with a friend called Bipolar Disorder. I'm always looking for a better way to think and live. I'm heading towards the moon of change... teehee!
Hi
. I have a couple relatives who are living life fully with bipolar disorder. I'm glad to see that you are as well. ☺️ - Lori (Team Member) Never thought of bipolar as a friend. I have noticed I get more done and feel better in my skin when I'm on the upward side of my life.
