Finally got the guts to do this...

Thank you guys for the encouraging responses! It really helps me! It gets so frustrating when I see myself in the mirror everyday and still see the same thing. When I look at the progress pictures, I notice a slight difference, but it really encourages me that you guys see progress.

We're all here because we're going through the same thing. I can gurantee you, the people on here are the least judgemental people we'll ever know. That's why I like it here. Everyone cares. That's rare nowadays on forums. It's my belief that everyone here is more humaine and compassionate, because we're all rooted in the same physical and emotional frustrations. This board comforts me. It's like a feather pillow that you never have to fluff.

I couldn't agree with you more! This forum has been so wonderful - it truly has been part of the equation of my success so far. I have never met so many NICE people - how often do you get to say that these days?? It really is comforting to be able to talk to people that have been or are exactly where you're at and know what you're going through. I wish that I would have found it a long time ago!
 
Miss,

It took me probably a good 6-7 months (maybe longer) to see any change in the mirror. I think it was due to my own mental block, and people were telling me there was a change, I was buying new clothes because the old ones didn't fit. Now, since I've stopped being a slave to the fucking scale, I am more aware of the changes in the mirror. It's really great actually... I know what I am doing is actually affecting my body in a very positive light.

I feel your frustration, this is the hardest part... not the hunger pangs. Those get few and far inbetween (which I actually had this week ;) ) but the mental image we all have is our real demon.

Good luck and stick around, you'll need this place

-Keith

Tell me about it!! I wish I'd found this place a few years ago. I do believe if I had, I wouldn't have relapased for a year and gained a significant amount of weight back.

This place is not only encouraging, it's motivating. It actually makes me WANT to stick to my food plan.
 
Wow you have made some terrific progess so far. I notice the biggest difference in your stomach area! I'm excited to see you next set of pics!! :)
 
I'm so envious that your face is so thin (and pretty)! I'm one of those people whose face is one of the last areas to thin down. As I told you before, I love that pic of you in your avi--very nice. You are on your way to fantastic weight loss--having already made a considerable dent. :)
 
That was a HUGE change in just one month!! yippeeeeeeeeeeeee!! you must be one of those "fast progressers!!!"

did ya get the spider yet?
 
Haha..yeah, it was funny because like an hour after I talked to you, I looked to my right and it was all mangled on the floor - as if my cat brought it to me and said "There, ya freak! Now put the living room back together!" :rotflmao:
 
You can really see the results! I know it's hard to see your own results. I have that issue and then I don't really notice until I start gaining again and I am like "damn, I was looking good!" lol. You are doing so well and for a months time that is GREAT progress! Keep up the good work and don't give up! You will be amazed when you don't even recognize yourself anymore in the mirror!!:party:
