I never get bogged down in the diet aspect of this program. I failed at dieting...been there done that.

I have committed myself to finding the reason for the addiction and am trying to fix it....will take a long time.

I work every day to like myself and see the good in me.

I look at each new day as a new gift at life now.

I forgive myself when I make mistakes. that is a hard one but I do not obsess about that anymore.

I have decided that I will work to have a better stronger body..through exercise.

That's all I can think of right now!

1. Eat Protein first

Never drink fluids 30min before, 30min after a meal

Eat 0.5g protein per lb lean body mass (100-110g protein for me)

Track all intake and exercise (aim for 1000kcal daily - when full stop)

Eat slowly (my primary issue - pacing myself is a problem)

Drink at least 80 oz Water daily

Relax, I got unhealthy over 25+ years, 1-2 years to lose the fat and get healthy is ok

Make the changes permanent - if it is a short term thing don't do it until I am mentally prepared to do so

Move daily but don't obsess

Fix the head, the body will follow
