Of course it's possible to lose 100 pounds. So many great examples here. I had come to believe that I could not lose weight. Ask the closest people to me and they would tell you that I had given up that dream. Each year that passed... it just seemed hopeless. I had wanted to lose the weight before I turned 30. It didn't happen.
Well, one day I got diagnosed with diabetes. I changed everything about how I ate, I watched my carbs so that my blood sugar wouldn't rise. That became my focus, get that sugar down. I logged everything I ate and watched its effects on my body. I started eliminating food and pretty soon and I mean QUICKLY, I lost 10 pounds. There were times when I would lose 5 pounds over the weekend. Anyway, I hadn't believed it possible, yet there it was.. the weight loss I'd always wanted.
Well, success motivates and soon enough, I realized omg, I am losing sizes. I had to buy a pair of jeans all the time. It wasn't till then that I started wanting more... I wanted to be size 14, I hadn't been that since I was 14. I wanted to hit onederland. I thought that would be the ultimate. Well, it happened and I started seeing sizes I'd never seen before because when i was that small I was a kid. I started setting goals then, I want to be solidly in the 190s, the 180s, the 170s, now I want to see the 150s. We'll see if it happens but I am so happy now at my weight that it would be ok not to.
That was a long reply but I just want you to know that it is possible. But you have to believe you are worth it. You have to make every change and think about every piece of food that goes in your mouth and realize that you are worth more than the momentary pleasure of some food. The wrong food will hurt you and you wouldn't hurt a child, why would you hurt yourself. Do it cause you love you.. that's it.
