Don't think about the total amount of weight you want to lose. Set your goal for 2 to 5 lbs every week. And don't feel bad if one week you don't lose any but that you stayed the same(rather than gaining) and then jump back into it the next week. Remember "A mile is a trial, an inch is a cinch". You can do it, one little step at a time.
And don't let the kids at school get to you. They don't see the courageous and smart person that is on the inside. Because you are smart and brave, your trying to make yourself better!!! :o)
