Just because you are single, doesn't mean you have to date I hate dating as well and honestly, I've never done much real dating as I think it is pretty horrid. If I was single, I think I'd stay that way rather than trying to date. I wouldn't trade my BF for anything in the world though
If there's a world in which I can wake up thin one morning thin, why can't it be a world where a) I wake up thin AND b) have the tools to stay thin? Better yet, a) a world where I wake up thin, b) have the tools to stay thin, and c) still get to eat ice cream etc.
Health magazine has a full page add that states "if you lose weight overnight, that's about how long it will take to gain it back." Then you're referred to a website called "questioneverything.com". I looked at the site VERY briefly and can't tell who sponsors it. Caught my eye in light of having read this thread.

You know, I've been thinking about this thread this weekend, and it occurred to me that my fantasy skills are poor. If there's a world in which I can wake up thin one morning thin, why can't it be a world where a) I wake up thin AND b) have the tools to stay thin? Better yet, a) a world where I wake up thin, b) have the tools to stay thin, and c) still get to eat ice cream etc.
I mean, if we're gonna dream, why not go all out??
In the absence of b and c, however, my original answer still stands...

The site is sponsored by "GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare".
Charles,
Someone said that they would wake up single if they could. Tamil said she wouldn't wake up single, that would mean having to date again. I said that just because you are single doesn't mean you have to date. So... there you go
Tamil,
Lots and lots of chocolate will do just as good
Well, i'm among the minority, but I'd go for the waking up thin. Since this is the 5th time i'm loosing the same 45 pounds, I KNOW what to do, I KNOW how to do it, I've already made the journey, over and over again, I KNOW how to keep it off, already done the "self discoveries" and such. Its like going to Disney Land in a far away country. I've made the trip, seen the scenary loads of times, now I just want to get back there as fast as possible and enjoy the rides!!
I guess I can say that I am very thankful for what I've learned about myself on my weight loss journey so far. If I woke up thin, I wouldn't appreciate my hard work. Just like if everything is handed to you as a child, you don't appreciate what you have and what you have had to work for. I have become a much stronger person in my life because of a lot of roadblocks and I just consider my weight loss journey another one of those roadblocks - and it is the only one I still consider unresolved, but getting closer every day.
But . . . I can honestly say it would have been nice if I never would have had to deal with this particular roadblock, but I am a "do what I gotta do" person and this will be a goal that I will make this time. I brought this one on all by myself and I will be the one to fix it!!!
I've always said that if I ever win the lottery (not that I do it, mind!), the first thing I'd do is book myself into a swanky clinic, and say, "Make me a size 10 (UK).".
Of course I want to wake up tomorrow without all this extra weight!
It's all very well to appreciate the journey, and what it takes to keep the weight off, but really, I already know what to do. My problem is actually doing it consistently.

See that is the whole point - I think almost everyone knows what to do - it is learning how to make it a part of your life that is the thing. If it was really part of your life, it would not be hard to do it consistantly. IMHO of course.

Exactly. It's simple really.
But just because it's simple doesn't mean it's EASY!
