Why is it so hard to lose weight, it comes on so easily, why is it so hard to get it back off?

Oh how I wish I knew the answer to that question!! Back near the end of August '04 I was down to 235, that was 50 lbs lost. By the end of the year I was back up to 246. I promised myself that this year wouldn't go to waste again, but it's already March I'm still around 246, I keep losing and gaining about 2-3 lbs. I just can't get back in the game as far as my eating is concerned. I've even tried upping my exercise and I haven't been able to stick to that either. I know part of it is I'm really disappointed in myself for gaining that much back and when I'm feeling bad about myself it is so much easier to eat crap. I ask myself every day "Why is this so hard for me?" I renew my resolve to get back on the wagon every morning, and by noon usually I've already done something to screw it up.

Anyway, you're not the only one struggling (((HUGS))). But we will do this, somehow we'll find a way again!!

BTW, how did your dd's appt with the cardiologist turn out? Haven't seen you around in a while and have been wondering about you guys!

Awww, big, big (((HUGS))) to you!! You have been through a lot lately, I hope you are trying to take it easy. I'm sorry to hear about your DD's VSD, but at least it isn't a really serious problem!! I'll keep sending good thoughts her way that it closes on its own. I'm glad to hear your dad is ok as well, I'm sure it was very scary for all of you! Sorry about your kitty, it is so hard to have to give animals away, we had to get rid of our kitties a couple years ago because the apt complex we moved into charged like $50 per month per cat extra (we had 3!), and that was just way too much *sigh*. (((HUGS))) again, and feel free to unload anytime sweetie!!

That is the million dollar question. All I can say is that it gets easier. The first week or so is the hardest,but once I get going I stay pretty motivated. The only problem is that if I fall off I fall hard. I know that isn't much help,but I wanted to let you know you are not alone with your struggle.

It doesn't help that you are under so much stress. I'm glad your dd is okay. I have been thinking about you. sharla
