So I’ve talked of the reset, of starting fresh in June and all that, but the struggle hasn’t left me completely.

It’s my diet.

The same thing I’ve been struggling with from the very first day.  Since the beginning, I’ve had good stretches, but then I’d falter, then I’d do good again.  I’ve made plans to diet, calorie count, track my meals, etc…etc…but none of them have really gained any ground.

It’s frustrating, because during previous weight loss efforts the diet came fairly easily…but I really wasn’t doing it “the right way” as those previous efforts were extremely lowcal.

With that said, I kinda sorta gave into weakness today, and bought something that I’m hoping might help…

Hydroxycut.

When I started my journey, I told myself, and I told all of you that I wasn’t going to use diet pills.  I’ve tried them before, with limited success, and sometimes really weird side effects (I took dexatrim for awhile and had neon yellow pee).  Still though, I feel like I need to try something, even if its only temporary and to jumpstart thing.

I haven’t started taking it yet, and I’m really not even proud that I bought it.  I was fully intending to take it but not talk about it, but I felt that would be deceptive.

Ugh…I don’t know what to do.  I know I shouldn’t, and I know they can have some negative effects, but it’s like my desire to see something happen is overriding my better judgement…but this desire doesn’t seem to be enough to propel me to do anything on my own, which is REALLY frustrating. Boo!

Do any of you use anything (like diet pills, or whatever) to help you out?  What do YOU do to keep your diet on track?  Any and all help would be appreciated.
