Change is always hard and takes a deep commitment to make it last. The trick is to simply stick to changes at first that you can easily make. Changes that don't seem like changes.
So if you want to start off on a good foot get rid of those easy mental blocks you have to change. You say you don't want to weigh yourself every week...then don't...ignore the stupid scale, put it away in a closet so you don't even have to see it. Scales aren't necessary on the program. Remember - Its the food...thats it. Everything else will simply flow from that one thought, food. Forget the scales, forget even the exercise if you just can't make that change right now. Just focus on one thing...putting the right food in your mouth...one forkful/spoonful at a time. If you slip up, oh well your human...get back up on that horse and eat what you know is good for you. Eventually you will be eating more of the nutritious food and less of the crap. An one day you won't be eating the crap at all because your enjoying the right food so much. Its not a race, its your life.
Some of us have that all or nothing personality...usually driven by life or death circumstances...at the end of our rope so to speak...don't believe thats easy either...its not...but the changes do come quicker that way. Addictions to food are easier to get past going "cold turkey", just as with other addictions. Its not fun, it can be painful, but the end results are always worth it. And its worth it no matter whether you go a step at a time or you just have the mentality to take the full plunge. Again its not important or anything to be concerned about. At this point in your journey its just one mouthful of good food at a time.
So, lets get back to the food, thats the starting point and the end point as well for this program. So lets just focus on that. The easiest way to get started is to simply find a few meals that are on the program that you really like and are easy to make. Find one or two for each meal, breakfast, lunch, dinner...to make it easier your lunch and dinner meals could be the same...heck you could even eat the same type of meal for all your meals in a day...nothing says you cant have dinner types of food for different meals or even breakfast three meals a day. Just find a few meals you really enjoy eating. If those meals can be easily made on the road so much the better, if not then there are meals you can always eat on the road that are compliant. Things like rice, baked potatoes, steamed veggies, fresh fruit, salads,etc...that many restaurants and fast food places sell. Maybe they won't thrill you at first but they will fill you up, keep you from getting too hungry and most importantly will make you feel good that you stayed on plan for one more meal. Remember, its the food and nothing else. Forget about all that nutrition stuff and needing to eat this that or the other to get all the vitamins and minerals and other stuff nutrition is all about. Just eat the food recommended and you will easily get everything you need.
Relax, stop over thinking things, go make yourself a bowl oatmeal with some fruit thrown in...or maybe a nice baked potato in the microwave...its not fancy, but it does taste good and will fill you up...and no one will look at that say...what weird food diet are you on this time? Its just regular food, but food that supports your health...starches, veggies, fruits thats all it takes an thats all the program is about. Keep it simple, easy, cheap...take one step at a time with eating the right foods...forget about everything else...its simply the food...eat it, enjoy it, reap the benefits and don't look back...change can and will happen...its just not something to worry about, think about or even consider...eat the food and come back in a month and tell us how it went. But most of all enjoy yourself...life will get better everyday!
