I think some of the people here are just sick and tired of the "NON" support she/he gives out.I don't see it as "the truth hurts" type thing as more of a "I'm so much better then all of you and therefore I must put you down".If it were only a once in a blue moon posting that she/he gives out,I think most people would just ignore it....but it's not.It's ALL the time and it's becoming very tiresome that the only way to deal with it,is with some humour.

I for one enjoy the re-writes...it makes it bearable to even come to this board...which BTW,is a "SUPPORT" board,not a "condemn the fat people and make them feel bad board".Yes,everyone here KNOWS they have a weight problem,that is WHY they are here.We don't need someone who thinks they are so much better then us reminding us of that.That is UN-supportive.

And maybe calling said person a troll is not right....but rather Shawna's stalker would be better? Seeing as this person has been following Shawna's posts around like a lost puppy trying to sniff her butt.If said person wants to be SUPPORTIVE....I'm all for allowing her/him to have his/her say and leave it at that.But when the post sounds demeaning and condemning...no...thats not what this board is about and I for one will not stand to allow crap like that go ignored.

Also,tough love is one thing...said posters posts are NOT tough love by any means of the imagination.

Why do you have to deal with anything though?

I may not have any advice in this arena yet, but I have to say,,,,you sure didn't come this far down the scale to level out and poop out. Your many pounds you have shed already is the evidence that you are a Prize Fighter, one who wins, so you keep going, in a down the scale way! Maybe there is something that you can do to break your current metabolic code....but know this, advice may not in this post, you get much Congrats from me, and I have looked at your web page and was encouraged. You'll do it, alright!!! Dede

Shawna, I can totally relate to where you are at right now. I have maintained a 55 pound weight loss for 6 months. No up no down. Everyday I restart my food plan. Everyday I give in to temptation to foods that are not on plan. Man it is like I am possessed or something. I know that I need to just say "no". I know that "I" am in control of the choices I make but something makes it almost impossible. I know that I have to just work harder to ignore those inner voices that say it is OK to eat whatever it is that I am eating that I am not suppose to eating and put it down or throw it away. We can do this, we have already lost a lot of weight so I know we can get our momentum back. I have lost hundreds of pounds in my lifetime and gained it back. I refuse to gain this back. So today I start again. One bite at a time and I will succeed. :-) Stephanie 280/225/170 Atkid since 6/15/2003

Ok Shawna, I'm comming out of lurkdom.

I think you've done great for yourself. Your just going through a bad patch right now. Hell, you KNOW I've been doing crappy since last weekend. I finally did exercise yesterday and ate better. I feel like I'm back on track now, but man, it sure is hell getting back up.

Ok, this is what works for me: Exercise. REALLY go for it 3-4 days a week and then have 2-3 "fun" days. On your fun days, do a tape that gives you a nice LIGHT workout. Your still moving, but not as intense and it feels good too. I'm getting back into this after a week long hiatus. It really DOES curb your appetite-- don't know if it's physical or psychological, mabe a bit of both. Also, self talk and visualization works too. The American indians do somthing called "Vision Quest"--(also an 80's movie, Tee Hee!). A Vision Quest is basically visualizing a goal and sending positive energy towards it. Negative energy will derail it. So, NO BAD SELF TALK!!! Instead of "I can't", or "I won't ever lose weight", you must say "I can" and "I will!!""

Journaling works too, but I barely have time to clean off my dining room table let alone write in a journal. Oh well, DS has 10 days left of school! Summer is almost here for us!!!

Hugs,

Deb
