Saying my goodbyes

Hello everyone

I'm working very hard to deal with my struggels with food, i think i have a addiction to it so i need to look into that.
I need to figure out many things in my life right now, I am going to continue to try eating healthy and get as much as excercise as i can but i am going to do it slowly so i can see where i'm going wrong and what is causing me to keep giving up after 3 days of success.
This forum has helped me see what i need to do to imporve my lifestyle and peoples success stories have inspired me to follow in their food steps.
I get very sad when i see so many of you wonderful people doing great and i get left behind because i get motivated for a little while and then it all crashes and that makes me feel all defeated and hopeless.
So for now i am going to be leaving this forum until i figure out a great way to cope with this.
Reading my own diary has made me realize what a whiner i became and that my entires consist of nothing but crying and bitching about how much i love food and how much i need it. I don't want to write anymore because i have nothing motivating for no one to read, it's like trying to bring everyone else down, or someone new to this site reading my diary and saying well if losing weight is going to put me through this much misery then why bother going through that.
Well one thing i gotta say is try always try and keep trying.
I wouldn't call this giving up i just want to see what's going on and hopefully i will return stronger and happier about my life.
I will visit this site when i can to see how you all are doing.
I wish everyone the best with their goals, i also wish everyone Health happiness and many years in their lives to come.
Lots of love to all the friends i have made and to all those who have supported each entry and had my back since day one, i will never forget how strangers can become you're backbone through a tough time like this one.

Sincerely your MissLovley
 
good luck to you.. please don't be a stranger... most of us are dealing with food addictions.. it helps a lot to be around people with similar struggles...

be happy.. and take care of yourself.
 
Miss lovley I hate to see you go. Just remeber your not alone and there are always people going through the same if not worse. Don't forget to take care of yourself above everyone else, except kids they are the exception.

take care

Miss Lovely,
I wish you the best, and like Mal said, don't be a stranger. We are all here because we *want* to get healthier, to be fit and to lose weight.

You and I started about the same weight - we CAN do this!

This isn't about a race, but about making healthier choices, one step at a time. Each and every meal is a new opportunity to reclaim control.

I'm not sure what you've been doing to lose weight, but you ARE losing, your ticker is down ***14*** pounds!

I have found for me, that if I deny myself anything, it will make me want it all the more. So I must learn to incorporate the foods I love into my diet and find a healthy way to live with them.

If it helps, start a new diary when you're ready, or today for that matter, and just take it one day at a time.

You are NOT alone, we've been there.

Hugs to you,
 
lovely, i hope you find your niche, it's diffrent for everyone, not everyone will benifit from the same thing, and like mentioned above we all have our own addictions and obsessions with food, but your success speaks for its self YOU ARE capable of changing! Good luck with what ever you do, and check in with us please you will be missed:( ......... Keep on rockin STAR:)
 
Awww gonna miss ya

Missloely,
I am gonna miss ya, you have been great I enjoyed
the messages as well as leaving you some.Please stop by when ya
feel up to it just to say hi!I wish you the very best of luck and things
will work out for ya. Tammy:)
 
Oh no!

Misslovely,
I, too, am sad to see you go. I know it's disheartening at times when you see others losing and you find yourself stuck but like M2M pointed out you've lost 14 pounds! That's no easy task!! Everybody's body is different and loses at a different rate. I consider you a success story, we just have to realize that we are all a work in progress.

You're a beautiful person , inside and out and I hate to see you go...but the decision is yours to make. I would encourage you, though to not look at this as a race...that will get you down. We're all on our individual clocks, I can't loose more than 4 pounds a month ( or so it seems) and while I'm envious of those who can I have to realize that my body is just different.

I don't see you as a whiner AT ALL. If you want to let loose about something this is certainly the place to do it. We're all in the same boat, we want to loose weight so we all know the frustrations that go along with it so please don't ever feel bad about expressing yourself and leaning on us.

Whatever your ultimate decision is, I respect it....but I sure hope you stay with us. *big hug*
 
I'm so sorry you are struggling and I'm sorry to see you go, but best of luck to you. Please know that a lot of people share your struggles and don't see you as a whiner, but someone they can relate to.

Miss Lovely,
I wish you wouldn't leave, but if you feel you have to, I wish you all the best. I second what everyone else here has already said...many (if not all) of us have some sort of food addiction, and some of us lose slower than others.
Let us know how you are doing...please:)
 
Sorry to hear you are leaveing miss lovely
just remember if you need support we are here for you
and good luck on your journey hope to see you soon back here
 
I know I'm a newbie but I had to step in and say that you might reconsider. All of us suffer from a less-than-perfect relationship with food. It's how we reconcile that relationship and how we feel about ourselves that will inevitably lead us to success. It's hard to step away from food emotionally and look at it objectively but I'm convinced that's how the abuse stops. Like all abusive situations, it's about taking back your own power and realizing that there is something better on the other side.

I admit to being jealous of some of these amazing weight loss stories and that it's hard to look at others running when we're struggling to crawl, but I think if we try not to look at this as a competition with others and try to learn from the experiences of the others in this forum, we'll all get there in a healthy manner and be more sane because we could bitch and cry and panic along the way.

If you do choose to leave, I wish you luck, but I think there's a lot of benefit from this community and I would hate to see you deprive yourself of something that might really help you. Stay strong.
 
Oh, Miss Lovely-

I wish you wouldn't go. You are doing really well and should be really proud of yourself. 14 pounds is a HUGE amount of weight!

But I know what it's like to get discouraged. When I first started changing my diet and exercising I was at my peak weight last spring. I had been very sick for a year and gained a lot of weight from lack of mobility and severe depression. I even gained 8 pounds in one week...something I had hoped was water retention--it wasn't.

Would you believe when I started working on my diet I didn't lose ANY weight for 2 whole months? I tried everything, and felt like I was a failure. I almost gave up until I came here. After I came here, it took another month and a half before weight steadily came off.

It's been really hard, and I'm not losing tons of weight. .5-1 pound a week. Soemtimes I'm lucky and lose up to 2 pounds, but I usually gain some or all of it back when I lose that much. There was even a week I gained a bunch of weight.

But the really awesome thing about this group is everyone is really supportive--and while there are a lot of people who have done amazing things with their bodies, there are many of us here who are still struggling too. We look out for each other. That keeps me from giving up. I may not reach my goal anytime soon, but it's good to know I have others to talk to when things get rough.

Different things work for different people, though, and if coming here hurts for you to visit here I can't blame you one bit for taking a break. I wish you the best!
