A little bit at a time

I've tried pretty much everything. It began with Weight Watchers and a gym membership when I was 16... up to the crazy hCG fad diet I tried recently. I've gone to a nutritionist, naturopath and a life coach (who Ryan calls "the food shrink"), all to help me with my journey. I've joined gyms, and taken stroller-fit classes and bootcamps. I've tried low carb, no carb... I've even thought about the lap band- a quick fix it seems. All of these (with the exception of the last) were things I tried, for a while, but never kept it up. My weight has continued to climb and climb, and two kids later I am unhealthily obese. It hurts a bit to say it  that way (especially because I'm not sure that's grammatically correct)... but it's good to face the truth.

A friend pointed out the other day that when I try these things I tend to go all out- putting in 150% and then I fizzle out pretty quickly. My goal is to make changes slowly and realistically, so I can achieve and maintain them so they are part of my life.
