Hello! I'm new to the group and to online support groups. I have been into health and wellness since I was a teen, but I am a backslider! I have completed a rigorous detox I designed myself every year for five years now. I always feel fantastic when it's over and have the intention of eating healthy and practicing self-care. It lasts for awhile, but within a few months, I have begun slipping back into bad habits, such as eating junk food. I know that I would feel better and be happier if I were taking better care of myself and I know that starts with food. I am hoping being part of a group might help me stay motivated. I look forward to hearing about what you all are up to :)

Hi! I am brand new to the group. I feel I've had similar experiences to you -- I clean up and eat healthy, but inevitably always fall back on the junk habits.

I started a new workout program and am determined to eat healthier/cleaner (it's been a whole two days!). But it's a start and I am trying to stay positive.

Hoping we can stay on track! Be well.

That's wonderful! Good luck with your program! It might sound corny, but something that has helped me in the past is putting up visual reminders to inspire me. These can be images or words, but I have found it helpful to put them where I will see them every day several times by default. Sometimes this can be a helpful encouragement when you're stressed or want to give up.

That's a great idea! I had a note on my cabinet a while back that said "Eat well, feel well". I'm going to put it back up! Thanks!

How have you been doing?

I'm doing pretty well, actually. I'm starting small this time and hoping to work my way up. So, I have started with three daily goals with regard to food, all of them small changes. So far, I have been consistent, but it's only been a couple of weeks so far. My hope is to build a foundation and go from there. How are you?

I don't even know ware too start I am walking ....a lot of walking ....it is. All that seames to help ....

I love walking! It's also really relaxing, I think, if you are able to walk out in nature. Right now, I am trying to incorporate jogging into my walking routine. I don't jog the whole time, but am doing a walking/jogging program. I really like it! I can feel the endorphin rush, which is nice, but I also think it's strengthening my muscles.

Hi, is anyone interested to form a group to eat and stay healthy. We can maintain some email group or shared excel sheets about our daily healthy eating. It may help to see each others progress and motivate us to maintain consistency in our eating habits.

That could be a good idea, Kenfdj.
