Nelie - I have a hard time sometimes reading other parts of this forum because of the amount of weight I have to lose. Depending on how far down I decide to go, I have to lose close to half or more of my starting weight. If I go down to 150, I will have lost more weight than many people who come here even weigh. Sometimes it really gets me when I see someone talking about how much they want to lose weight when they have 30 or 50 pounds to lose. Then I stop and think, and I wish I had had that reaction when I did only have 50 pounds to lose.
Who knows what determines our line in the sand - why does one person "click" at 200 pounds while it took me getting to 350? I wish I knew. What I do know is that one of my goals is to move that mark of what is ok down and down until once I get to maintenance I will feel the need to do something right away when things start to slip - not 20, 50 or 100 pounds later. Reading this it doesn't exactly address what you said, but I am going to leave it in anyway.

Nancy I am sorry you were not able to work out today. However I am glad you left this post. As I said before I often feel like Nelie and sometimes these are things I need to read

Sometimes I think wow I still have so much more to weight to shed and it can be a real bummer but I promised myself I will keep going. So thank you !
