we've all seen those great weight loss commercials with the thin guys and gals saying they lost a bunch of weight by taking this magic pill right? did you ever notice that @ the bottom theres a little info strip saying that with diet and exercise these are the results. So what I'm saying is this 1st there is no magic pill (not saying that you think there is) but know that going forward, 2nd DIET should be the most important thing in your life starting NOW, it will take sometime to get where you are aiming but that goal is achievable, 3rd this is a HUGE lifestyle change not a little one that can be done when you feel like it i.e. well i ate healthy yesterday so i think I'll devour a whole pizza today and somehow in our minds we can rationalize that kind of action...WRONG IDEA, if you do that you mind as well not even lie to yourself because you will not get the results you are looking for anyway (again not saying this/these are the things you are doing but look for these kinds of behaviors) and 4th (i think I'm on #4) before you really get into this ask yourself in COMPLETE HONESTY....am i will to go the distance not just for today but for tomorrow and on? am i willing to work hard for this or is this something I'm going to do for 3 to 6 months start seeing results and then stop or slow way down then stop (again HUGE lifestyle change here). there are times that you will be able to eat pizza and pasta so on and so forth but in the beginning most likely not (depending on your diet and goals) there might be times when you're hungry and may want to say f*** it! thats your decision brother, its your body and health...i'm not trying to say one needs to obsess over it but pretty close. when i am going to be away from my house or somewhere else i can control what food i ingest i have to think.....OK what is the most nutritional food i can eat where I'm going and how much....and after you get your diet in line you will have enough info to make a sound decision.....my suggestion is hang around in the nutrition forum ask specific questions and RESEARCH the advise given to you (especially from ME)(joking).....S*** i just realized this is the most I've typed here ever and I'm sure i left out things that someone else will comment on......know this theres a lot of good advise given here so listen up (as I'm sure you will) and ask.
