C - Whatever is stressing you out, especially if it's hampering your ability to lose weight, is always appropriate. Reason being (IMHO) is that stress is one of the biggest we gain weight, lose it unhealthily, can't get rid of it, etc. I mean, as long as you aren't using profane language or being demeaning to others, this is a great site to vent about all things that are stressing you out. Whether it be family matters (husbands, significant others, kids, wives, parents, pets, etc, etc, etc), co-worker problems, your favorite sports team is losing, your favorite pair of jeans doesn't fit...whatever! Post it here and we'll either give you advice, a pat on the back, or a nice, friendly
. You're amongst friends here and we're all on the same page at the end of the day...trying to lose the bulge. And keep it off!!
Regarding not being able to keep off the pounds you've lost...you should do some snooping/lurking around the different sub-forums here. Ask questions and find the right plan for you...one you can stick with after you've lost the pounds! I love Sugar Busters. Its a simple plan that I love that makes sense to me and is a breeze to stick to. I'm in a bit of a holding pattern at the moment, but once I get the kids out of the house and into school in September, I plan to up the exercise and ditch that last 20lbs for good! But, while in that holding pattern (I just have come to a place in my weight loss that I need to step up the activity and make it more strenuous) I haven't gained more than a couple pounds that comes right off if I drink more water.
Anyhow...this Support Forum is a great place to talk about just about anything. But there is also a forum for Alternative Lifestyles that I don't know a whole lot about (as I'm not very alternative, myself) that you might find more kindred spirits at, but you should know you're amongst friends anywhere you go on this entire forum
hi, is it okay to ask this????
