But why should you trust me when I tell you THIS pizza is delicious and worth making? Why should you believe me when I say you really won’t miss the “real” thing? Why should you take me seriously when I say this pizza is so good you can eat it while your family chows down on greasy pizzeria pies right in front of you, and you won’t even bat an eye?
I’ve learned dieting is a lot like grief. Not only does it cause grief, but there are several stages of dieting you need to experience and work through before you can overcome and accept it.

I have lost 60 pounds. That’s unreal…I almost don’t even believe it myself. If you are reading this, you know that to lose weight isn’t…
Being well acquainted with both MyFitnessPal and Noom allow me to share thoughts and give the full picture of my experiences.

I gained 5 pounds during the holidays, but life goes on.
I have deep seeded mental hurdles from years and years of poor eating choices, bad habits that I MUST break.

I have compiled this list of weight loss myths based on my own experiences trying to lose weight over the last few years. I’ve believed all these things at one point or another.
