I am new to Web MD after learning my triglycerides are dangerously high and I have fatty liver. I am 50, a chronic dieter who finds herself 50 lbs or so overweight. I have no confidence that I can sustain any kind of food/exercise changes long term. I'm at a loss really. My weight has always been something that would be nice to lose, but has never impacted my lifestyle. Except now it is affecting my health and that changes it. The only thing I am sure of is I can't do it alone. And so I post this in hopes that someone can help. I need some kind of accountability. How does a chronic dieter turn it around to be about health and not the weight loss? The more I have focused on the number on the scale, the more my weight goes up. It's crazy isn't it? Thanks for listening...I need to figure this out. Stop focusing on what I have never been able to do (negative) and focus on where I go from here (positive) I can't let my discouragement get the best of me! KimView Thread
