I'm ready to make a commitment to living a better life

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone, I discovered IOWL a couple of months ago and

everything says rings true for me. After some self examination

and honesty, I've realized certain habits/behaviors that have held me

back not only with my weight but life in general. I'm starting a diet

and exercise program tomorrow and will be listening to all the IOWL

once again so that they really sink in. As says, I have to put

in to get back but I don't know what I can contribute here. ly,

I'm skeptical that I can offer anyone online any moral support/advise.

But perhaps I feel this way because of my inexperience with internet

communities. So with a little courage, I'll do my best to

participate and reach out to this community. Anyone else feel

strangely about sharing thoughts and feelings online? Anyone else

starting a diet & exercise program tomorrow?

Sharing online is a bit weird for me too. It brings up all of my

insecurities around whether people will like me or not! lol. Every day

is a new start for me so I'm starting tomorrow (today) too!

Good morning

I'm starting my program today! I'm dusting off the old program books

and getting out my food journal. I'm also going to brave the VA cold

and get out on the track. The number on the scale keeps going up and

I'm tired of it. I'm always doing things for everyone else it is time

that I do things for myself.

Why do I feel so guilty spending time on myself? Does anyone else

have this problem?
