Hi Everyone, I need help getting started on a diet. I'm so afraid!! I have dieted so many times only to regain more and more. I have been on so many diets I know that I could teach a class on it but this time I'm really afraid to start. I look at all my diet books, plans etc.. and I know that I have over 100 pounds to lose and it just seems impossible. When I first started dieting I really was only 20 pounds overweight. Any encouragement would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

hi hoglips! welcome to you. don't be afraid! you can do it!

Hi HL, Just because you haven't had success at something in the past is no reason to worry about this attempt. Put it out of your mind. Since you have a great deal of knowledge about dieting, just strip your plan down to the essentials and stick with what you know works best. 100 pounds is a fair bit of weight to lose. To do it safely, permanently and smart will probably take in the 9 months to one year range. Just go slow and stick with it. Don't fall to pieces over every challenge and forgive yourself if you make mistakes. Welcome to featherish.com and good luck with your weight loss. BigAl
