I just wanted to add my congrats to you all and cheer you on! It is hard in the beginning but believe me it does get easier over time! Keep your sights set on the end goal of good health, more money for other things ... etc. You know all the good things.

Give yourself a pep talk whenever necessary. Also, this sounds goofy I know, but look in the mirror and smile as big as you can, and laugh out loud. It releases endorphins and helps to lift your mood.
