weight loss support?

>>> Sigh. It just seems as if any "change" is destined to fail for me, because eventually I'm going to slide back into bad habits.<<<

What I hear here is the very common little saboteur in most of us, which is self doubt and giving our power away to lower impulses. I suffer from the same doubt, but believe there *will* be a time my commitment to better choices becomes the mainstay, even more pleasurable, and eventually giving in to silly carb cravings becomes less fulfilling.

We have to believe in ourselves , for if not, who will

emily in nc: Did you ever hit the nail on the head with your message, ie, it really resonated with me, as I have the very same problem with losing weight. I, too, lost weight with five hours of cycling, but that's a tough thing to do every day, isn't it.

The other time I successfully lost weight in the past few years was to eat mostly protein and veggies, but I forgot which plan I was following (I believe it was the book written by the personal trainer who was on the TV program "Extreme Makeover"). One example of breakfast on this plan was one or two egg whites. Yes, I lost, but it was very difficult to maintain energy with such a small amount of food.

Anyway, I just wanted to respond to your message because your experience and mine are so very similar.
