understand its real people

Ok here I am 44 and just got on the scales and now there is 30 pounds to lose. Never Mind I was 50 from goal at my lowest (212)

Gonna do the 5:2. I have avoided it long enough. I have a six hour drive with my adult daughter and my grandson. And tomorrow my first fast day.

I got this.

What was I thinking eating what I want for the last Year.

am I too Late?

Never to late to try again.

It's hard to offer suggestions without knowing what you think the issue is, what challenges you are facing with your diet, and so on. Here are the rules I set for myself when I find myself wandering off track:

--set clear goals and stick to them (calories/carbs/protein)

--weigh or measure everything that doesn't come in a single-serving portion (such as a Jerky stick or a cup of yogurt)

--track everything on MyFitnessPal

--plan what I am going to eat in advance each day, and write it down in a schedule

--no liquid calories other than Protein shakes

--no grains, refined sugar, or high carb veggies (potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas, etc.)

--get anything that doesn't meet my nutritional goals out of the house

--don't take money or any way to pay for things to work with me (this effectively keeps me away from: Starbucks on the way to work, vending machines, the snack shop in the building, the grocery store on the way home, etc.). It's a harsh tool but it works!

Good luck to you.

You know you are so right. The money part is a great suggestion. I have friends that do not have the same issues as me. Eating out daily is not an issue for them cause they are small to begin with. No money, no Snacks in the house, it does work. I also like the tracking so your held accountable for your own actions.
