Just keep starting every single day making the effort, take those baby steps, forgive yourself when you stray off the path and get back on as quickly as possible. Forty is just a number and you already have everything it takes to be forty and fabulous. It will just be a bonus when you are forty, fabulous and fit.

I went crazy in Las Vegas and had to do a 3 day cabbage soup diet - no lie. It worked though. I gave up the carbs, etc. after that (not completely, but I got over the cravings for crap).

I ...I read Michele's comment and I'm torn. I love her approach. I've long admired that of Cammy from the Tippy Toe diet. Both are into the slow but steady approach and have had great success with it. But I also know for myself that often cutting out all my triggers for two weeks makes a huge difference in cutting cravings. But, then again, I have returned to that crutch/approach time and time again. Maybe if I went with Michele's theory, I'd be "done."

I like your plan of the two week turn around to detox the junk out, and then go on from there. I think it is a great place to start...as well as getting back in the workout routine. <br /><br />Come on girl...you can do this ;)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134112483941066017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610048593668629476.post-18393051724301558702011-11-07T16:07:42.138-08:002011-11-07T16:07:42.138-08:00You can do it!!

I did and am. I ne...Yes, I believe you can do this. I did and am. I never thought I could. If I can, I believe you can. This may or not be your turn around point. Only time will tell. There is no magic: just eat less and move more. Find a way to do just that and you will be successful. Like I said before: if not now, when? You are at a moment of truth: watching that video has illuminated what you need to do. You can push it away and wait till you add on more pounds, or you can make the decision to do it, now. It will not be easy, but the benefits are tremendous. Completely worth it. You will need to figure out how to eat through the holidays and that big BD, but, again, you can do it. <br /><br />I want you to know that I ignored my weight, too, for years. I am 5'2" and started at 213. I am now closing in on 38 pounds lost. I am finally taking care of myself. Over time I have learned to plan for anything related to food and celebration. It took me a while and trial and error, but I did it. You can, too.<br /><br />My suggestion:<br />Forget that diet above.<br />Target a set amount of calories (like 1350 to start) per day<br />BE serious about exercise: a short 15 minute walk (rigorous) will jump start you every day<br />Write down what you eat<br />Plan for holidays and of course your BD<br />Take care of yourself by doing all the above: you are WORTH your own efforts!<br />Blog<br /><br />Remember: no tricks no magic. But it works to eat less and move more. You can do this. The mere fact that you continue to post tells me that you can. You just need to do it!<br />micheleMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16422138891797605472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610048593668629476.post-68321953841702693882011-11-07T12:39:37.245-08:002011-11-07T12:39:37.245-08:00A lot of what you said here is exactly where I am ...A lot of what you said here is exactly where I am at.

Starting over is HARD, and it takes a huge effort. <br /><br />I'm sure this won't help - but you are in a place I LONG to be. I weigh about 262lb and the 230s is a distant dream for me. I know thinking that "others are worse off" doesn't really help, I guess what I'm saying is that the starting point could be worse. I let myself get to 270+ before turning around, and that makes the road back even farther... Not sure where I'm going with this trail of thought, other than .. it's possible for all of us, and for you too! :)Marenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09723154108032675494noreply@blogger.com
