That may be how you feel at the moment, but it is not at all how you look. You look great and anyone on here that has seen your pics agrees with me.

*sigh*
I know you all say that and I really do appreciate it but I need to start seeing it soon...

Really good that you realize this now and not after you have regained 10, 20, 30 lbs. That happens - happened to me! - and you stopped it before it could happen. You are not where you wanted to be. Yeah, that sucks. But you are also not where you were before. That's a real good thing, darlin. You don't have to worry about undoing damage, you can just start back where you left off. June is going to be your month!

I know, I know. I am also 'happy' I found this out now...
Just never wanted to need to 'find this out' ya know?

Everyone has a relapse at some point. I came to this site at the end of one, disgusted with myself. A favorite female friend of ours experienced this a week ago. It happens to us all. We just have to stay on our toes. Seriously, changing your lifestyle, activity, and eating habits has not "cured" you. It's made you healthier, has given you self-esteem, and lots of other positive rewards . . . but we are never "cured." The temptation will always be there and we will always have to fight it. Sometimes it is just easier than at other times. You are now back in fighting mode. :D

I just thought it would go away at some pooint. That my body would not want to eat the way it does.
I honestly thought there was a 'cure'...
apparantly not.
Thanks Angela.:)

Ok so you identified the problem, got pissed (appropriately) and now you have to let it go and move on.

And yes, I appreciate the irony of this as I prepare to write my own rant in my diary. Feel free to yell at me as needed.

Carry on.

THank you Ali.
And as soon as I see it posted I will yell at you appropriately.

-maybe just copy and paste Angela's argument....

I know, hun. In the beginning I thought there was too. That's just not the reality. Now that you know there isn't one - you are prepared for future attacks. :D

I'd hug ya but I seriously don't want a hormonal pregnant woman knocking on my door tonight. The thought is there, though. :p

Saw it- just didn't have time to respond.
Thanks Trops, and you are right. I am not discounting any of that but dammit I need to be selfish and whip my own fat ass into shape here.

Friends are great though.:D

Thanks guys.:)
 
Part of your 'problem' (using that word loosely) is that this is your first real attempt at losing weight. A large group of us here have been doing this for years or for a good part of our adult lives.

This all something you are experiencing for the first time. It will pass. When it happens again, you will know how to deal with it better. Think of it as part of the learning curve.
 
I guess my point was that you lost 35 pounds. you "fell off the wagon" and didn't gain anything back. That, to me, is success. Sure it didn't fit into your plans, but what in this world really does. Be happy with this small success and go forward from here. You think you need a kick in the ass, but I see a pat on the back in order. (Sorry, I'm not a fist bump kind of guy)

I really do not know if i will ever be prepared but at least I will not be surprised anymore. Or as pissed at them. If they are inevitable then so be it.

It is a success and I know what you are talking about. It just frustrates me since i was doing so well before.
And I am pleased with the sucess but i am such a goal orientated person- critical paths and SOWs are my life- that the fact that I have stalled by my own doing is unacceptable to me.

Kick in the ass is what is needed, I have had enough pats on the back.

- you fist bump me Trops and i will find you and hurt you..:D

To a point yes. But trust me, she asked me last night if there was anyone else I could talk to about this.
She loves me but I have a tendency to obsess nad say the same thing over and over til she wants to kill me.:D
