I ;am the queen of excuses and procrastination in this dept. The first week of this challenge, I rocked. Then came Thanksgiving and I did awful. Then a week full of cakes and birthdays and that sucked too. Don't feel like you're alone. I need to lose this weight for a whole list of reasons, and I need some accountability, too. We have plenty of loving, supportive people here....and we can give each other the strength we need.

I am too embarresed to go to the food court and eat! I will go to a restaurant and places like that. When I see fat people eat...it almost disgusts me. I know that is stupied because I am fat. I don't see them eating but I see my face on thiers eating all that crap...my jowels shaking with delight. I just can't do it. I can't even eat in the truck. I feel like people are thinking, "look at that enormous fat lady eating!"

Oh I can eat...I just like to be alone with my food! That sounds like a problem doesn't it? :0)

Hi,
I've only posted once here before. I got lots of wonderful support and encouragement but when I ended up failing once again at what I set out to do I got very discouraged. I got very upset with myself hearing about everyone else and how well they are doing and all the weight they have lost. It was nice to hear that everyone is really struggling and I'm not the only one. I just am really at a loss as how to get the will power I need in those moments when I really need it. Thanks for sharing all your feeling!

Let's get serious...

I read this a few times over Kerstin, and really I was like yes, let's get serious! But not me! I can't get serious! I mean, if I think of it... seriously... where I have to deal with...reality...which is, you either seriously lose weight or you gain more... I get SERIOUSLY freaked out!!

I know if I do not SERIOUSLY lose weight now I will just gain all that I lost back, plus a lot more, as soon as physically possible!

I have this imaginary line in my mind, say, if I lose half of what I want to lose, then I'm SAFE. I know I am on the way to success and don't need to worry about going back to being obese. But I am still not at that half way point and I am so shaky in my weight loss position right now, (especially with christmas in my near future, which translates in my brain as food-free-for-all) that I have to get SERIOUS!!!

ach!!!

I am scared to get serious!
I have never been skinny in my life that I can remember!!
