ya dude - I hear ya - my body is "Fatty prone" too !....
...am glad that U decided next 60 off is a go ! & time limit- do it 'til it's done...that's so wise - takes some pressure-off - more reasonable pace is easier to maintain & stick to & more likely to keep permanent in the weight once down ....win win .- just 'cause genetics/hsty trends us to fat- doesn't mean we cant' learn to work around our natural trends...
... scbidhouse on this site totally inspires me - middle-age gal like myself - took her ~ 18 months now - but she's lost 94 lbs..... proof this can be done.
... one thing I found helped me this fall - I downloaded some hypnosis recordings ( Enjoying weight loss )(Dr.Roberta Temes) - I'm more of a science-person- not a believer in the touchy-feely stuff - but I think the ideas/positive reinforcement her recordings offer actually do help - one main concept she does start with is that some of us do have genetics&minds that lead us to naturally trend to weight gain , but that we can learn lifestyle choices to help keep us slim-despite our "hard-wire" ., and Fat2Fit podcasts -( I listen to those while I do my walks) - the 2 fellows on there really have lots of sound, reasonable & interesting info for support of healthy lifestyle & fat-gain fighting.
- we just need to accept that our "natural" trend is to gaining , and Educate ourselves/learn - lifestyle choices/tricks/ - & make them habits - for "countering against" our "natural"....
~ A lady I work with ( one of my best "coaches" ) has a hubby who struggles with weight ( & diabetes now too...) - she says he's hard-wired for LAzy & Food ( sounds just like me....) - she's reasonably slim herself- but says that even she works at daily exercise in her life, and healthy food choices (most of the time ) (& she told me that even she splurges the odd-time on a bag of chips) - but she says as long as at least 9 out of 10days Dont' include chips-& Include Daily exercise - usually weight will stay stable.
Glad U are back dude - on the "good hill walk"... to your good future. ( & bet U are already feeling much stronger & healthier with the 60lbs. you've just shed - Excellent work ! )
cheers Maryann
