Pequin Weight Journal

I agree - this is one of that hardest things I've ever had to do. If I fail.. I'll still have to look at myself everyday and deal with the health stuff and all the other fantastic :rolleyes: things that go with being fat. There really is no option to quit or fail with this. It just has to be done one way or another. That I guess is the scariest part of it all for me - failure isn't an option.

Scary, but comforting too. After all - what is failure? You only really fail if you give up, and you seem pretty committed. It may take longer than intended sometimes, but only giving up is really failing.

OK, still, I struggle with wanting to give up all the time, but we haven't yet! And we won't!
 
Failing for me would be having the stomach stapled. It had been mentioned to me before that it could be an option.. but it isn't a option for me personally. I want to be able to tackle this thing without going that route. Not that it isn't a life saver for others and I don't really have a problem with it per se.. but for me it would be a cop out.

I'm in this for the long hual, I just can't give up. You're doing so well LB that I'm pretty sure you won't either. :D

What a good way to look at it! If you did end up with your stomach stapled, you may look better but you wouldn't have the sense of personal accomplishment, and with your 500 mile goal I get the impression the accomplishment means a lot to you :)

Just think how cool it will be when we have to figure out how to live in maintenance. Now that will be the real long haul :)
 
Hey P! I'm glad I made it for the mushy feel good session. YOur doing fabulous. In fact, I wish I was doing as good as you. I'm down 20 lbs in 1 month and two weeks and thats amazing in it self, but you are kicking my ass in the game girl. When your thin your going to be one of those uber hot chics that I want to quarentine to a desert island so I don't have any competition...lol!
When I stop by your journal I always feel better leaving it. I just thought you aughta know that. And your one of the few people that take so much time reading and posting in everybody's diaries. Its my goal to catch up to you, and I will...I only have a few hundred posts to do...I'm working on it!
 
I'm glad that you are so motivated to stay away from the surgery route-it's very admirable =-) I have been always been heavier than other girls and have thought about/put myself through a guilt trip since i was in the 6th grade. i'm twenty FRIKIN two years old--when am I going to stop having a guilt trip for the way I look. So I totally understand what you mean by "failure is not an option" I just cant live like that anymore--every day I sit and wish that I could go out and feel sexy and cute-not like i'm trying to hide my fat ass from the world!

it'll definitely take some time-but you and I can do it!
