This won't be easy.

It gets better... I just started really sticking to watching what I eat and I agree is so hard I was hungry after 20 of just having my healthy meal. Drink a lot of water also before you eat. I did not realize how many calories everything has until I started reading labels. Amazing. I started preparing my breakfast, lunch and dinner at home because I know what I am putting in me. Give it time. I think it will work for me..

Maybe try low-carb? When I'm doing low-carb I have no appetite. Eating becomes something you do out of obligation. :)

I feel that way too. It stops me from going to the gym and unfortunately I'm not a self-starter. I need some motivation badly. Don't let it stop you baby. Go, get fit, and healthy.

Or you could go later at night, say 7 or 8 so that there won't be anyone there, or atleast not nearly as many. That's what I do, and i find that that helps me work harder. Good luck! :)

iPod. And workout harder. When you are working out hard enough you won't notice people at all. But just make sure you go. After a couple weeks that feeling completely goes away.

Now's as good a time as any to develop will-power. Pack a lunch?

I totally agree with you. I know that with the economy it's hard to say "find an other job" but if you weren't already start looking Hard. I worked at McDonald's during High School and was already "overweight" but became obese. I never realized this was the turning point until looking back at pictures. I since have had 2 different Gastric surgeries and still have 100lbs to go. So with all the understanding in the world, I say look search ... find a new job :) Good Luck I will say a prayer for you.
