Don't worry about where you WERE. or where you COULD BE. Just start where you are now, just start walking or drinking water or watching what you eat. Realize it's a process and a life style change, so it doesn't matter what you did yesterday. Instead of beating yourself up, congratulate yourself about what you are doing right NOW.

I am learning that. It has taken me years of yo-yo dieting to figure it out and it still is something that I have to remind myself, but it is so worth the effort!

I agree beating yourself up does nothing to help you achieve a healthy lifestyle!!!

I agree with you but now I have to put more effort into doing just that. I have the motivation, I just want to implement the plan into action.
