Good thread. I know what you mean Beverly about getting comments on your weight loss. With me it depends on who is doing the commenting. I still like hearing it from some but I can see where you would just want to get past it and live like everyone else.
I have lost a total of 245 as of December 21st. 172 of that in the last 2 years. Since then I have gained and lost the same 10 lbs four times. I would like to get down to 225 for a final goal and I am at 251 right now. I would like to make that goal no later than next June 2nd which is my 40th birthday. So I have a year and 2 weeks to lose 26 lbs. You would think since I did 172 lbs in 2 years that 26 in 1 year would be doable. Time will tell. I do know one thing for sure. I will never ever become the person I once was. I like my new life and I'm going to keep it that way. |

Anyway, sorry if I sound like an ingrate, but it grew very annoying indeed. The one-dimensionality of your experiences, Beverly and Howie, was what reminded me of my own experience with it. |
No apology necessary. I know how you feel in that one aspect of it. Sure is good to see you back. It's also good to see Gretchen back. I seen her on another post. I've missed having you two around. You both really inspired me to get my act together when I started coming back here 2 years ago.

Howie, you're so gracious. :hug: I am so happy that you're still a presence here, because I -- like so many others here -- value your support and example and grace so much more than your humblebutt self could ever realize! :D I haven't seen Gretchen here since I returned, but she's posted on my blog several times over the last couple of months. GRETCHEN! Come out, come out, wherever you are!! :coach: I need you, man!! :yes:
As for my post above -- it was late and I didn't want to hijack the whole thread so I didn't go into a lot of detail, but it was more than just them asking about my prognosis. They spoke to me differently (like in a different octave, and with a noticeably patronizing "awwww" kind of way.) (And none of them ever helped us when I was going through it!) Anyway, I don't live there anymore, and now I can tell whoever I want, when I want, and how I want. And today's Wednesday and I got back on plan on Monday and I'm down 5 pounds so far, so life is good! :lol: Thank you again, Howie. You're a beautiful person, and so is Kimberley. (And you both give a damned good hug!) |
Well I was looking and it was this post that I seen Gretchen on. If you look back a little you will see her.
Thanks for you kind words. As always you are such and encourager. |
I'm around or should I say A-ROUNDer person than before! I CANNOT get my groove going. I had it down last week-- however, this week went down the tubes. I cannot get it together...
It's very good to see you guys! :) Inspire me....please... |
