Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

I know, I've been where you are right now. If I can do it, so can you! The first little piece of advice I'll give you, is loose the word diet. For people like us, it is not a temporary thing. You are taking your first steps in a new lfestyle. Also remember, just walking at a brisk pace can do a lot of good. You can get the same benefits as running, you just have to do the exercise longer. It's been several years for me now, and I now run 10+ miles a week. Keep us updated! Andy

Take some pictures of yourself in various poses and save them. These will come in handy later on as your body begins to adapt to your new lifestyle. You will be able to see the changes more clearly with this method. This will provide you with an excellent motivational tool.
