I alternate between days of being like Oh my god YES!! and Ugh, you STILL suck! Though more and more lately, thank God, I've been having the former...

I know what you mean though... I'm like 210ish right now, and I'm pretty much ecstatic. I hit my 250's around 22 to 23 and had been so ever since (27 now) but I remember when I was shocked and appalled to be 195 at age 18! Lol! Now I'm like.... *happpppy dance!!*

Rufus never acknowledges your accomplishments- or if he does,he belittles them. Rufus says, "So what if you lost 23 pounds? Big deal! You've still got more to go- you might as well give up now!" Rufus says things like, "You're probably not really any healthier- you are just fooling yourself. Those hills weren't that steep." He says, "Oh, so you started swimming two months ago, huh? You should have started 2 years ago. And it's not like you're Michael Phelps or anything."

Pucedaisy... I have bad news for you!

RUFUS IS CHEATING ON YOU!

He lives in my brain too!!! I know that dude far too well...

Working on it, working on it... but no matter how accomplished I am there is always a Rufus telling me that he's NOT impressed.

You know what? I'VE LOST over 140 pounds and I still have days like that. We all do. It's NORMAL. We've got to beat these fat demons with sticks until they die.

hugs!
