Returning Failure Seeking Redemption

[ParanoiaAgent13]

I few months ago I joined this site with the intention of losing weight. I lost the weight in time to graduate, however I am much heavier than I thought. Going from 240 to 220ish was nice but I have still failed. I was supposed to join this forum for the community and I stopped because I was scared of seeking help. I return to the forum to ask for guidance and the push I need to be a better me. This time I am willing to share more of myself in hopes I will meet someone who would be a sort of "weight loss Parole officer" and check in on me from time to time. I can return the favor by being a workout buddy or a diet partner.

I know I ask a lot for someone who left the community. But this time I plan on sticking around.

Welcome back

I would suggest you start a diary in the diary section where others are more likely to keep an eye on your progress.

You are not a failure.
Here is an extended motivational quote that you can find here on Cate's thread called Motivational Sayings and/or Affirmations.

Failure
~ Tim Connor

Failure

It’s only a word.

But it carries with it so much pain
and so little concern
so much frustration
and so little respect,

so much stress and so little
understanding
that people spend their lives
running through their days

in the hope of avoiding the long arm
of this little word.

To test our vision, you must risk
failure.

To temper your ego, you must attempt
the impossible.

To tell your story, you must
take a chance.

To see beyond the horizon, you must
spread your wings.

To be all you can be, you must
stretch, flex, try, and go beyond
your proven limits.

To bridge the silence, you must risk
rejection.

To advance into the unknown, you must
risk the peril of all your
previous beliefs and emotions
that feel so secure.

Failure is not negative. It is a teacher.
It molds, refines, and polishes you
so that one day your light will
shine for all to see.

It isn’t the failure you experience
that will determine your destiny,
but your next step and then the next
that will tell
the story of your life.
