Such an important truth! I only really started making progress when I stopped worrying about being perfect. .-= Hanlie´s last blog ..Wish me luck! =-.

The hardest thing was learning how to eat 1500 calories when I was used to a daily intake of 3-4,000. But it didn’t take long to realize what the low cal foods were and how to get the best bang for my buck.

The second hardest thing was learning correct portion sizes….3 oz of meat? Are you kidding me? I’m the girl who can eat half a pork roast over the course of 3 or 4 hours, lol.

Great post. I do have to remember that it will take time. I catch myself getting so frustrated sometimes because I feel like I work so hard, but there are no results. I just have to remind myself it does take time! .-= Staci´s last blog ..Update =-.

Patience is the key. Getting rid of the 'all or nothing' attitude has helped me tremendously. It gets rid of a lot of guilt. .-= Lori´s last blog ..Brick and duathlon =-.

You’re so right about the learning process, Diane. The hardest and best lesson I learned was that I finally needed to accept and embrace the realization that this isn’t a diet of a few months, it’s a new way of eating and living for the rest of my life. That helps battle any frustration I face because it reminds me the frustration is just temporary. .-= The Crazy Woman Inside Me´s last blog ..Pardon my Clown Feet and Drag Queen Shoes =-.

Hi Diane,

Thank you so much for visiting and commenting on my blog today. This is my first time visiting yours, and I see you are a pro! Congratulations on your remarkable weight loss. I plan to read your archives and “catch up” with your story. Your before and after pictures are utterly astonishing, and very inspiring. I haven’t been so excited to read through a whole blog since I found PastaQueen! I appreciate your encouragement. I think I can get through tonight just from the wonderful support from the blog.

Another fabulous post… hmm… i’m gonna say that the best lesson I learned is that it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Just gotta keep on keepin’ on and don’t make yourself feel bad over a ‘slip’. It does NO good!

That it's okay to get a little hungry. This is a tough one for me, because I tend to panic at the first inklings of possible hunger. .-= Hilary´s last blog ..A Week in the Life: Losing Weight Again =-.
