[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, everyone! I appreciate the recommendations. I do indeed know what to do, just find self-control and motivation really difficult at this stage in life. I’ve never needed to lose this much weight. I only needed to lose 15-20 before and it seemed more feasible. I’m sort of posting as a first step - “public” acknowledgement that I need to make better decisions. Stop eating mountains of chips and sweets. And the reason I think I need to kick Diet Coke is because I feel bad about drinking in, then feel bad about myself and make worse food decisions.

I live in a ridiculously hot area and it’s just starting to get in the 80s so I will be able to go on walks soon, but I do think it’s 95% diet. But walks make me feel better about myself and then I make better good decisions. [/quote]

Unless it’s Death Valley - which is for sure where you don’t live - [b]it’s never too hot to simply do some walking. Y[/b]ou aren’t 90 years old here. If you can’t handle WALKING in heat above “the 80s” you are in for a long road. [/quote]

I'm sorry you've never been outside before, PP.[/quote]

Evidently, you need to seek a little discomfort like the OP.

I stand by what I said. There are virtually no temperatures that prohibit [b][u]WALKING[/u][/b]. OP is 40 years old. Women her age go out of their way to RUN in temperatures in the 80s and 90s because they expect to be racing in those temperatures. Three weeks from now there will be plenty of them at Ironman Florida, where the run temperatures can easily be extremely hot. A majority of them will have [u][b]HAD[/b][/u] (as in not currently carrying) multiple children.

If OP is unwilling to WALK because she "live[s] in a ridiculously hot area and it’s just starting to get in the 80s so I will be able to go on walks [u][b]soon[/b][/u]" - that's a very clear indication of the commitment level here and demonstrates how she got herself in this situation in the first place. That attitude is even more applicable to her diet, which is 99% of this anyways.[/quote]
