Time to notice the little changes!!!!
 

Happy day to all!! I'm feeling very strong today. I have 2 awsome control days and have started my third with gusto. I send out strong vibes for all my fellow fighters here. I'm sooooo fighting the disire to go weigh myself. I want a suprise not a "oh well" for my first weigh in in a year. I plan to weigh in every 2 weeks.

I'm so happy for the loosers here. A BIG YEAHHHH for you all.Your succsess lifts me up almost as much as my own. Please keep sharing. :D

Julee: you were talking about wanting a burger, and you even check on you points first. Think back to when you wouldn't even think twice about a burger or two, maybe fries, a shake?? and now your brain told you to check first! WOW good for you. That is very powerful. You chose power over being a victim to mindless eating. I am soooo guilty of this myself. Eating something and reaching for another bite only to say "hey, where did it go?? I didn't eat it all already, did I?" I want those to be actions of the past. The feel empty. Thanks for helping me identify that I do that to my self. More power to you baby!! :cool:

I guess I've blabbed enough for now. Strength to us all today..Baby steps :smug:

Hello everyone. :cb: I was not feeling very good this morning and noticed that I started to think about what I could eat that will help me feel better. :( So, I decided to come read the boards before I give in. Thank you all for sharing. I know that I won't just eat to be eating today thanks to your posts.

Tashabella: Good luck to you on your step towards the 200's. I myself am stepping towards the 300's :faint: which I haven't seen in many years. Someday I know that I will be where you are and I can't wait. I know it will be so amazing and wonderful when you see less than 300 on your scale as it will be for me to see less than 400 on mine!

Lillion: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! "Weigh to go" :goodscale I am so happy for your loss!

Julie: Good luck in the Revlon Run/Walk. You will do well. Just that you are going to tackle something like that is so inspirational for me. :bravo: Brave ladies.

MissMelliss: I know how it feels to be working your butt off and following a diet plan thinking that you are really loosing based on how well you have been doing it and then you weigh and the scale doesn't change. :?: Hang in there. I don't know if this is true or not but a weight loss person once told me that if you plateau sometimes it is because you were at that weight for a while on your way up and your body feels comfy or familiar there. Either way. You will break through and just don't give up. Keep on going. We are all here cheering you on. :cheer:

Audrey: So sorry about your ulcer. Don't you just love it when Dr.'s tell you lovely things like that. I mean, I know they are donig their job and all but they could put things in a different way. What did it help for you to hear that you have one of the largest stomach's he has ever seen. He could have just said, Your stomach is large or something. Try not to get too discouraged. I know when you are sick it is so easy to get down and depressed. Hang in there. :^: I will be praying for you to get better soon.

To everyone else, keep your heads up. We will achieve our dreams and goals if we just don't give up. I love all of you here so much and I thank God for this board where I finally don't feel alone. I could never before feel any good feelings about myself. I was very caught in a downhill spiral of thinking I would just die this way. Not anymore. I will not die this way. I will continue to work hard :wl: and take this weight off. AT someone's suggestion I changed my 1st goal from 497 to 180 to a shorter goal 1st. Thank you for that suggestion. It feels less scarry.

Blessings to all of you,
Dogpal,
Andrea

short goal

Hi,

Well, I thought I better post. I haven't in awhile. I joined um last month sometime. I was sooo excited to join and then POW! I just have no motivation. I hate that I am sooo overweight and yet I just can't get myself to make the effort. It's so very depressing. Especially that I'm over 300 # and that I'm single. I know that if I could just lose 30 # I could do it all. The first 30 is the ones I'm having the hardest time with. I can't get on an exercise routine. I walk on my new treadmill like once a week if I'm lucky. It's right here in front of me... I'm just so unmotivated and feel like it'll never happen. I'm really tired of being fat. So, basically now that that is down in words. *smiles* I need some motivation. Does anyone wanna be an e-mail buddy? I need someone to talk to every day for motivation, SO that weight is ALWAYS on my mind. Calling for help!
