I think the one main advantage to not being able to lose it overnight is that it gives our brains a chance to catch up with our bodies. :) Although I do wish there was a way to get it all off overnight. ;)

I worry about the 30 day mark. Every time I hit loosing weight for 30 days something horrible happens in my mind and says GIVE UP and I do... I really want to break that cycle.

I worry that I'll give up and fail AGAIN!! Ive had so many failures.

I totally relate. I hate full length mirrors, I'm so embarrassed when I go out with family or friends because I'm the fat girl.

i confess i’m conflicted to isolating myself with anorexia to binge eating and gaining weight.
I confess my the hardest thing I’ve done in life is try to find a peaceful harmony with food.

I confess that I hate having to plan my meals to the strictest calories and portions.

I confess that I hate getting older and more tired the more I push myself in my workouts.

I confess that when I binge I feel like I'm young again, and then I hate myself when I snap back to reality and realize that I just really hurt myself physically with food.


Those were pretty harsh comments, but they're true. The positive part is that I can confront those feelings every day and DO something about them.

And I do. I wake up every day and make the choice to come to this website and seek the support that I need for that day. Some days I need more, some days I need less.

I hope all of you find the support you need here or anywhere else you seek it :)

I thought of another one of mine (and I'm sorry if it's a bit TMI!):

I'd would have been happy at a higher weight if I had bigger boobs. I feel that since my girls are so small I need to be smaller. But the smaller I get the smaller they get! It's a vicious cycle, eh?

I confess that ...

1) No matter who I meet, the very first thing I do is compare my body against theirs, even though I know that we'll have different body shapes and all that. If they're smaller than me I feel uncomfortable around them. If they're bigger than me I feel like the better woman D:

2) I'm terrified of what I'll look like if I keep binging. I'm scared that I'll end up being so big I can't move.

3) I'm constantly scared that my boyfriend will leave me because of my weight gain. Despite the fact that he's incredibly supportive (he doesn't know about my binging, but he's always supported me through diets) and has told me he thinks I'm beautiful/loves me no matter what, I constantly think that he's just being nice. He must really think that I'm a whale.

4) I get a ridiculous sense of virtuosity when I'm dieting and get so preachy it's unbelievable. As I'm saying these crazy things like 'oh, it's so easy to lose weight on this diet' or 'I'm not even tempted to try that' I want to kick myself.

5) I'm always wondering whether I should consider getting a gastric balloon, but know that it would only solve the immediate problem - I'd still gain everything back.

I confess that I feel like a failure and I'm dreading Christmas because even 70 lbs gone makes so little difference on a body that started at 450 lbs that I'm positive everyone is going to be secretly thinking "sure she lost weight. yeah right."

I feel like I'm imagining all the visual progress. My thighs don't look smaller, it's just the jeans. I didn't get smaller to fit into these panties, I just washed them enough that the elastic's gone.

I'm not in positive headspace today... don't know why

I confess I feel better when I am with my obese friend
I confess I silently judge people who eat a lot of junk even though I do the same about once a week now, and did so every day only three weeks ago.
I confess I fantasize about being thin all the time and write goals in my calendar and then flip through it, looking at the numbers all the time

I Lost Alot Of Weight Last Year Moved To Cali And Gained It Back Came Back Home And All My Friends Where Like Damn You Gainesd Alot Of Weight Back Like Im Sooo Dissapointed I Didnt Say Anything About It But It Really Hurt My Feelings ////i Confess On The Inside I Know Im Doing It For Me Im Doing It Because I Wanna Feeel Better Be Healthier And Look Good .... I Have A Great Personality Just Want It To Come Along With A Great Body .. Been Over Weight Majority Of My Life .. Just Ready To Change Drastically And Be Whole With Myself -- Sometimes I Feel Like Im Doing This Weight Loss For The Wrong Reasons For Other People ... Someone Tell Me Im Not Wrong

i confess that i am always 1% away from reaching for a treat at present..

I confess.... that I secretly want my diet buddy to fail. I want to be thinner than her. I want to be the one who makes it.

I confess.... that I saw a tiny bulge on my 9 year old daughter's belly yesterday and panicked. She's a dancer, she's healthy, she's thin and beautiful, not the slightest bit heavy. But now I want to monitor her eating habits because of that tiny little pudge on her belly. I'm terrified that she'll end up like me.

I confess that...

I resent the fact that I have to spend so much thought and energy into what I eat.

I hate that my only sibling can eat whatever the heck she wants to and not excerxise and is super skinny

I hate that I am the only one in my family that is over weight. Why me?!!!

If somebody gave me some extreme way to quickly lose the weight i would take them up on it and just work on maintaing it. I could care less if it was healthy or not. I just want the weight off

Why does it have to be so freaking hard!!! Ughh

I confess that sometimes i want to swing for my H2B because he is so fit and has amazing stamina and i am so jealous that i don't have his drive.. :(

one day..
