Greetings All! My name is Beth and I am like you. Finding myself feeling alone in this world of weight loss I have now found a place where I feel I belong. As a single mom of a 12 year old son, I find myself needing to better myself by building a healthy lifestyle and not just a short term thing.Setting myself up for success is what this ditebet is for me. Set on not losing my $100.00 due to my own lack of self control, I think before I eat. Becoming mindful about my eating habits is Awesome. Today is Day 5 and my clothes already feel less tight! Looking forward to getting into the clothes I use to wear. It took time for me to gain this weight, so it will take time to loss it. Just reminding myself that nothing I eat will taste better than a smaller jean size :)Back in 2004 I lost 113 pounds along with my best friend. He lost 65 pounds as well. After becoming a mom and taking different paths in life than my best friend, slowly in the last few years the weight came back. I found myself sick and tiered of feeling sick and tiered.I must admit, it's difficult to lose weight alone. This dietbet group is the next best thing. I want to hold myself accountable while working at this alone. Sometimes I wonder if others feel like I do?
