I am open to suggestions,:D and I'm sure I'll have a lot of options. But I hate the idea of moving to find something I'm missing. How on earth do I know what is the right place for me? And so I continue to sit here, year after year, missing out on more.

You're right Kelly, and it is a good thing. However, I think it might also be a part of the problem. 150 was my first goal, when I never thought it possible to get any lower. I think that psychologically, this is my ideal weight, even though I know I'm still overweight. Does this make any sense at all?
 
Hang in there! :)

You will get through this.

If not, come see me. We will work out something!
 
I <3 men posting in my diary...:) Starting to feel quite alone here, so much so that it feels like high school all over again. My confession? I bought an Orlando Bloom poster for my bedroom wall. I hope it helps.

I can relate to this from my bout with obesity but as true we sometimes 'just sit there' things happen where it is no longer the case. If you feel like I do, our body changes bring about that need for even more quests and challenges.

I'd say the biggest downfall of my weight loss is idleness with this 'new energy' and 'where do I go from here' and putting it all together in a way that is going to be complete.

In your case, I do believe 'Mr. Right' is going to find you and for your sake I hope this includes leaving the cold region. You deserve a change of scenery.

All I can offer is how proud I am of your efforts and rooting for your next step to be one that sweeps you away to a place your heart is led to.
 
Dari....the best advice anyone can give is 'Go with your heart'. I find that woman have this instinct that will lead them to do the thing that is best for themselves....so just meditate on it, and really listen to what your heart tells you to do.

I love Orlando Bloom...he's a hottie (albeit an young hottie)!

I know what you mean about meeting your goal and then not being satisfied with it. It felt like only a little while ago we were both begging our bodies to let us see the 180's....and now here we are 50 pounds lighter, knowing that we could go lower and be successful---really get to that number that seemed to much to hope for when we were fat....and now we're stuck at a plateau. It's frustrating and totally sucks. BUT!!!!!! We can do it, might have to change things around but we can do it.

Aw, thanks Randy. That's exactly what I needed to hear. Now, what can I do about it while I'm sitting here? LOL!

Thanks Kaitie...we CAN do it. I'm hoping now that the sun is out (even though it's still almost -20:eek: ) I'm going to feel more positive. More gung-ho, if you will.
 
Hey there DQ,
I too have come to the realization that my goal isn't going to be the 'ultimate' goal.

I know before I started losing weight, I had *no* idea what my body would look like at a given weight. So I simply pulled a number out of a hat based on two things...I once knew a girl who was my height, weighed around 150 pounds and I thought she looked amazing - and I took the BMI range, divided it in half, and wah lah...got a number. And now I realize different people carry their weight differently and the BMI is not the best indicator...

So - that leaves me with an arbitrary number.

The good news is that we didn't do all this just to go 'off a diet' in the end and gain it all back - this long journey will always be about adapting, making changes where needed and listening to our bodies.

Now...as for the other thoughts...is spring around the corner for you guys? Is it showing signs yet?
 
People are still asking me, 'aren't you done yet?'. Ummm, this huge roll on my tummy says no. ROFL! So I'll just keep trudging along!

The sun is out. But it's still freezing. We had 2 warm days last week, so at least some of the snow has melted away. And it's supposed to get above zero a little bit on the weekend (crossing my fingers!) Can't wait to start walking!!
 
Hi Dari; you are doing awesome. 50 pounds. Hola! I live in Saskatchewan, where are you? Snow's all gone and we're hitting some days of zero celsius, but any length of time outside, still calls for covering the ears. Sounds like you need to reward yourself. A pedicure? Facial? Massage?
 
I have rewarded myself ( a little too much, actually!) with some new clothes, scrapbooking supplies, and my friend Shanna, who posts here sometimes, gave me a free pedicure when I reached my halfway point. It was heavenly!


Well, the ex showed up finally, and the sun is still out, so I got a 20 minute walk in. It's amazing how much the fresh air can cheer me up now. I did have to wear ear muffs though. The wind blowing in off the frozen lake is a killer.
 
Stupid easter holiday...:mad: :p :D Today was pretty good; we had our first easter dinner. Ham and turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy. I ate a tad too much, but did not bad. There was no buns, and no dessert, so I think I'm good.

Second easter dinner is tomorrow, and we're having roast beef, with a light dessert. Crossing my fingers.
 
I did a couple with my few new clothes, but I'm holding out on shopping until I get to goal. I'm hoping it'll be by the end of June, but who knows? Darn plateau. :rolleyes:

I did post my bathing suit pic in my blog though. Can't believe I put that on the 'net.
