I don't know what "hunger satisfaction packets" are - can you enlighten me? You know you can drink unsweetened tea, or water with crystal light in; some fruits have a lot of water (apples, pears, etc) and that also counts as "getting enough fluid". Remember that eating whole fruit is better than drinking juice because along with the water it contains, you also get the added benefit of the fiber which will help fill you up.
It's wonderful that you are going to start on your way to being healthier and happier. Good luck and don't forget to keep us posted on how you are doing.
I was NOT a water drinker, either. If I can do it, so can you.
Keep us posted on how you're doing, but you're off to a good start. Thanks for letting us know!
When I decided I wanted to lose weight long ago, I started by drinking a lot of water. I didn’t like water either; but you’ll notice that the more you drink, the thirstier you’ll get. It will get to a point where you’ll feel the need to drink water all the time. It’ll be second nature.
Let me know how it goes with the video. I might buy it. I have never exercised like that. I either go to the gym or run on the streets. But a video can be stimulating, fun and more exciting than the gym, and you have the comfort of being in the house. :)
I am my own worst enemy! I know the right things to do and I am MISERABLE about my weight and how I have let myself go!!!!! I like to workout and I LOVE to eat.......
I know the right path and I sometimes choose not to follow it and beat myself up about it. Me, myself and I got me to this point and me,myself and I will get myself out of this.
Glad I found this forum! Thanks for letting me vent!

Water... Some days I love the stuff and other days I want nothing to do with it. I have noticed that I drink more when I add crushed ice. I also like the no name crystal lite that I get from Walmart. The grape is the best. I also started juicing. It's amazing how carrot mixed with apple and orange is so yummy and as the post earlier said that you get alot of water in your fruits. Also, I found this funny stuff called hot tea! I have never been a tea drinker but, I have turned into one and I tell you, it's not only good, it's relaxing for me. Pomagranite is the best... Good luck to you!
