that might be because a lot of people are having trouble being successful.
for me, weight has been a lifelong issue and i havn't been winning in a while.
i originally lost 40 lbs over a yr and started walking. i'm still walking but have gained 20lbs back.

when i first started the first thing i did was clean out my fridge and cupboards of "bad" food. then i went shopping and replaced it with better choices.
i kept a food diary. i saw a RD. i did portion control. and i ate less times in the day.

for me, weight is also an emotional battle. one i havn't been winning.
i always want to be thinner because it would help me in so many ways. i could probably come off my diabetes and BP meds. i might get rid of my sleep apnea. i might have less pain. i might be able to move better and exercise more. lots of great reasons. and i'm ashamed to say i'm not doing a damn thing about it. that's why i don't talk about my weight much.

i'm not proud of myself.
