Have you ever felt like you're never going to lose that weight?

Because I did, almost all the time. After I had my exercise today, I sat down on a bench in the park and looked at my thighs. They looked humongous. Then, a slim looking girl walked past and in my mind, I was like "Wow I could never ever be like that. It's impossible for my thighs to slim down. It's impossible for my arms to be that slim etc."

I felt really depressed after that. Sometimes I wonder if I had the willpower to really become fit and healthy. I feel like being healthy & fit will never ever happen to me.

Do you guys feel like that too?
 
I know exactly what you mean. I was feeling pretty good about myself the past couple weeks..until last night when I went out with some friends and someone took a picture of us. I was like wow it doesn't even look like i lost weight im still fat. I was thinking about giving up but then I just try to remember I didn't put the weight on overnight so its going to take some time :)

Yeah you're right. We didn't put the weight on overnight so it's going to take quite a while before we start seeing results. I should really learn to be more patient with myself. Thanks :)
 
When you get past a certain point, it seems like it's not even worth it to try, because you can lose 20 lbs (or more), and you'll still be fat! I had this mentality, but I'm shaking it off. You have to start somewhere right? Seeing people lose weight here has motivated me to work harder.
 
I feel like that a lot! but i cant start my diet for at least 12 more weeks unfortunately :( i got to looking at old pics last night and i felt stupid for thinking i was fat back then! i feel terrible about myself this morning..i wish i could start this diet now :(

huh? why not? and if you can't formally start your diet, can't you cut back, and start doing easy exercise?

This kind of struck a chord. I used to think exactly the same way. 'Looking like that will never happen to me.' Guess what? It's true. It won't happen to you. You have to make it happen. There is really nothing that you can't do if you want to do it bad enough.

I'm sure at some point you didn't think you'd ever even start losing weight, or do exercise on a regular basis. Now that's what you're doing, right? You've got the willpower to exercise, what makes you think you don't have the willpower to keep on doing it?

And even if you don't look 'exactly' like the skinny girl - you'll still look a hell lot better than before, and you'll be a darn site healthier to boot. I think that's worth the effort, and something you can be truly proud of.
