Why do I feel like a big fat lard. I feel so down in the dumps. I just want to be happy pretty and thin. Waaaaaahhh

Hang in there!!! I feel that way too and then dh kicked my butt. Told me to get over and get exercising. Well it helped !

If you want it bad enough, you'll do it....and you know you can!

Unfortunately, I could gain 8 lbs. in a week, but it would take 3 months to lose it.

Hey Christine - I know, once you decide to get the weight off, you want it off - NOW!! All I can tell you is use that feeling to keep yourself motivated - it's working for me so far. I think all of us who are trying to lose weight feel that way sometimes!

Remember - two months (or two years) will pass whether we lose the weight or not. I want to be thinner by then, not fatter or the same!

You are not a big fat lard. You are a person who's improving herself. You can do it.

christine, *hugs* we all have our down days. it's part of being human. you can lose the weight; just be patient and stick to your diet/exercise plan.

in the meantime, try to do something special for yourself that makes you feel better; just because you're not "thin" doesn't mean you can't feel pretty! get some nice perfume or get your nails done, wear make-up, buy some pretty accessories to wear. sometimes those little things can be a big pick-me-up!
