Why should I lose weight to meet someone? I want to meet someone who likes me the way I am... THEN, I would be more inclined to lose weight, because I already am loved the way I am...

Yep...

Thats my story. Totally realizing if I continue the way I am, I am going to eat larger....

sigh... :eek:
 
you shouldn't lose weight to meet someone. that person should accept you for who you are... If you want to lose weight, it'sbecause you want to feel healthier and you want to feel better about yourself...
 
i know

I just always have an excuse... Sure I would love too... I'm just to darn lazy and always hungry...sigh...

I wonder what tomorrows excuse will be? :eek:
 
Your excuse for losing weight should be for your health just like Mal and Lora said. For your self esteem, health and mental health are the right reasons. You will succeed if you are persistant about it. You will.

Making excuses doesn't burn calories... and it doesn't make you feel better about yourself...

You showed up in the forum because perhaps you want to do something about changing yourself... What would you like to change?

Coming here is a good first step, but you have to also be willing to make some changes.

You don't have to be hungry... Dieting usually equals hunger, but changing your lifestyle so that you have a healthier existence doesn't mean hunger.

People tend to equate boredom, lonliness, boredom, etc with hunger... if you really thought about it, you might find that you're really not hungry...

You can help yourself... :) and we'll be there for moral support along the way..
 
My Two Cents

wendieann, Sorry but everyone is right the only person you can lose weight for is for yourself!!! Yes you will be hungry, but only for a few days at the most for a week. After that losing weight is at the very least 90% in your head.

On the other hand, lets get real when I was 309 Lbs., the chances of my wife looking at me (if she is a healthy weight) as a love interest, would be slim & none.

Now on the other hand if you have 20 - 30 Lbs. like so many people do. Forget the above paragraph.

thanks

I know... I also know, if I don't start doing something, I'll only get worse... I already am 190 pds...

When I look at myself, I do feel grossed out. I'm wearing my maternity shorts right now, because they fit well!

Sigh...

thanks for being there for me...
 
How do you guys do it. I always have a whole bunch of excuses too. That I'll do it tomorrow and that this and that. But since i want to be healthy and i dont like the way i feel and look im actually going to try it. I did weight watchers for a long time. And even though i did lose 20 pounds after a while i lost the commitment. Thank you all you truly are an inspiration.
 
Lets see.. excuses are great... but if you think about it.. your words are why lose weight to meet someone.. you want them to love you just the way you are.. but maybe think about this...

Why would someone want to take care of you or want you to take care of them.. when you can't even take care of yourself? How you look reflects on your personality. It reflects on your ability to make healthy choices for yourself, and for others.. either a mate or a child on the future.

And if you can't control your own eating habits.. how can you be trusted with the responsability of looking out for another person.. and co-running your guys' lives together? If you can't take care of yourself... how can you take care of someone elses' needs?

Just 'food' for thought.
 
o woah, chill out trucker. avi was just telling how she felt bout the situation. and the whole point of this whole forum thing is so that people can give others advice and support to help . If u dissagree then back it up by tellin how u see the situation. not just start an argument..

As you grow older, you will learn to identify dry humor. Obviously you don't know me yet so...

If you followed the WHOLE thread, you would see Avi and I share the same views on excuses.
 
i did read the whole thread.. and thats just how i read the situation and i apologoise if i jumped to conclutions or if my comment was out of place..
your right, i dont know u but u dont know me either so dont be condesending. just because i happen to be young doenst make me stupid.
 
Acsually.. i took a tad bit of offence at that too.. I have seen you around and I know we share the same opinions on many things.. but I can't read your mind and I found your comment sarcastic and was unable to determin whether it was meant to be mean-spirited or not.

Trattis, thank you for your defence. And we know young does not mean stupid. And dry humor is a touchy thing to identify. I use alot of dry humor and yet even make mistakes identifying it still.. as in this case.
