It is still true that the longest journey starts with the first step. We all have in our own ways had to do some of these things. Believe it or not, it is as simple as deciding to do it, and knowing that it is the best present you'll ever give yourself.

Right On brother.
Here is an indirect problem with diet drinks and artificial sweeteners.
They are many times sweeter than natural sugar.
Your body by dumping this stuff across your taste buds day after day will become desensitized to sugar.
Even good fruit will not be sweet much less bad fruit.
I dont always buy sodas but when I do I buy Mexican sodas with real cane sugar.
Many people dont like them because to them they dont taste sweet.
They are expensive I drink about 6 of them at the very most every 2 months or more.
They have became a treat not a way of life.
As for the other food that people dont like I dont have no idea how they get this way.
Some fish I cant stand and wont eat it others I will wolf it down.
Some of it I will only eat it cooked the right way.
I love tuna but I dont want to turn into a human thermometer.
Sardines are your way out of this mess but you wont eat them.
Last night I had an egg and a small can of sardines with tomatoes and chilies for supper.
By limiting the proteins you eat to ones that also have carbohydrates is not good.
If you are also taking in other carbohydrates in bread and so forth.
You dont have to like to cook or learn to cook to get an idea of what is in food.
Flour is tricky because people eat more of it than they think they do.
Yesterday I made 6 biscuits it took 2 cups of flour to make them.
This means that 3 biscuits are equal to one cup of flour.
Throughout the day I ended up eating three biscuits so yesterdays total intake of flour was one cup.
The total amount of carbohydrates was 95 grams or 31% of my so called dietary intake.
The proteins was 13 grams or 26%.
Along with this I had my own lean breakfast sausage 3 little patties.
For supper it was the sardines and an egg cooked in coconut oil.
I drank two beers 2 cups of coffee and about a gallon of water.
I knew a guy that was trying to lose weight.
I watched what he ate all day.
The next day I asked him if he would eat 5 or 6 cups of flour every day.
He said good lord no way I would be worse than what I am now.
I told him that was just about exactly what he ate yesterday and everyday.
He knew I baked and cooked and he was totally shocked.
