Shawna,
I have been back here lurking for a few days now trying to find some motivation again. I was around during the nasty postings several months ago and just couldn't deal. I wasn't going to post, just read but this post inspired me. I know exactly how you are feeling. A few times in my life I have reached goal and gained it all back plus. I am now battling a 100+ loss after having been at 165lbs 5 years ago. I have no words, no inspirations, no answers for you because you know all of them already. I do have never ending support and hope that something, somehow will click inside you to gain the courage you need to get on track. I feel your pain, literally.

Yesterday on my way home from work I was thinking about this whole losing weight thing and I have come to this conclusion for myself. Yes, I want to lose some MAJOR weight...but I also want to change my eating habits and exercise more often. I was a bit bummed that I didn't lose any weight on Monday (scale day), but I felt good about changing things in my diet. Even if I don't lose the weight as fast as I want to, I will be eating healthier and exercising more which definitley means I will have a HEALTHIER life and maybe live longer???

Off topic: I have to admit that when I'm in aerobic class and I can last longer on an exercise more so than a "skinny person" it makes me feel good....is that wrong?

Well giggles I know how you feel. One day while working with a skinny trainer at the gym I off-hand mentioned to her that there was no way she would last 15 minutes on my farm forking manure or feed. She admitted that I was right.

No it's not wrong, take pride in leaving some skinny girls behind. I kind of laugh to myself when I can jog up three flights of steps and not break a stride, while the people who are half my size are still on floor one. Ha! It's not always about weight, there are plently of people out there that have the benefit of a fast metabolism. They're small or average on the outside but don't do the work it takes to maintain endurance and strength.

If we want to talk confessions... the scale is my pimp, and I report on time for duty every morning. LOL! It's sad, I must weigh! It's like I look at the scale for reassurance or something, it will tell me how I should feel about myself for the day. Sometimes I feel like the scale is mocking me. A few months ago, I got on the scale and it said 199 lbs. After I moved it to level ground, it said 255. I knew it wasn't right, but my scale is kind of mean to me. ~Tasha
