Hey I’ve just signed up and really want to make some changes. But it’s so hard! I have so much going on. And I’m not used to putting me first

Hi and welcome, Stargazer101 :)

Many of us find ourselves in that position, but the fitter and healthier we are, the more we can offer others. It makes sense to look after number one first.

You don't have to do everything at once, but every small step will take you closer to your goal.

Follow this link to our chat thread and a list of all the activities we run. We've found active participation to be key to success, especially with our weigh-ins and Daily Diary.

To make navigating the forum easier, we've put all the information you'll need in a newbie pack and here's the link

Please take the time to read it carefully, so that you're able to enjoy everything that we have on offer.

We ask that you also read this important information about internet privacy and security.

Wishing you all the best :)

Welcome Stargazer.

Maybe look at it this way... In terms of your health, the more you put yourself first, the better position you're going to be (physically and mentally) to help others.

Allow yourself some 'me time' and try to come to this forum regularly. At first maybe just to read the posts and replies but when you can, use the weekly Weigh-Ins and the Daily Diaries.

Good luck and all the best :)

Life gets in the way doesn't it. I find always having something handy and ready to eat ,that I enjoy, is needed for moments of low sugar or low mood. Homemade veggie soup always in the fridge seems to help me. Good luck

Apparently some chinese geezer said that all journeys start with one step, didn't know him myself but I know a russian who claims it too. You've taken the first step, it gets easier every day you try so just keep trying.

Not what you're looking for?
