We do not tell you this to discourage you; we tell you this so you can prepare yourself for yout journey in to thin land. A weight loss program to a fat person should be a sacred thing and a thing that you will only share with your closest friends and family. You do need to share this time with your family, because it is something that has will have struggled with for a long time, and having your family there is to back you up makes the whole thing just so much more fun. There are many people out there with weight loss books, and almost all of these people will tell you that losing weight is not a chore and that it should be fun. But they are wrong, not about the fun part, it should be fun, but it is a chore. The only way you will keep inform is if you look at it as a chore, because cleaning your home is a chore and so is going to the shops for food, but you do it, because you have to do it, and thus is gets done on a daily basis.
