Sweet blog, Ali. Hard for me to add much to that since it's a rather compelling read about yourself. I like your identity.

I beat myself up just because it's my way of motivating myself. I'm glad I have no followers that way. I just demand more of myself than maybe I should, at times.

I wouldn't change a thing on this journey - save staying on WLF during my slump. Probably talking it out here woulda been more beneficial than I gave this place credit for.

Shit Randy, I didn't mean to make it about me :) tis your diary, after all...but thanks for the kind words regardless.

I do the beating up thing myself sometimes - it pushes me to go further than I think I could without it and other times it only serves to, well, beat me up. Not something you could characterize as productive. I think certain people have that as a personality trait and the trick is getting a handle on it and making it work for you.

Well, look at it like this - if that is how you feel, you learned the value of this place. When I went through my slump I too disappeared, partly b/c I didn't think I had anything of value to add. It never occured to me to ask for some help.

I got it, thank goodness but I could have stemmed the damage a bit. Oh well, lesson learned.

I tuned in at 9:30 for the weigh-in. Why ?? I dunno. The show use to amp me up - people doing good things and all. Now I'm depressed at the penalty phase issued for a good job done well.

Yeah, I know, lighten the fuck up, Randy. It's only a show...

Somehow this year I'm feeling saddened over the format. It's so flawed.

Honestly, I never took it as 'thunder stolen' post, ali. I thought it was a strong testament of who you are. I'm not fragile about stuff like this. I would never dismiss a strength offered in a time of my weakness.

It's nice to have people stop in and share their thoughts. I've read your post in your diary (and others) and there is a lot of amazing personalities in here with fortitude, strength and ample resilience.

You know a willow tree will reach out over a mile with its roots to get water when it can't find its usual source ?? I'd say I'm like that right now.

Oh I didn't mean it like that, I went back and looked at it and was like, oops :D didn't mean to do that - just wanted to let you know that wasn't my intent. Thanks for seeing it how you did - I still have a hard time seeing myself as stong, it is nice to get confirmation that I am from friends. It gives you something to hang on to when you feel weak.

Awesome analogy Randy - you have such a way with words. I think a lot of us are like that here - which is why I am so happy to have found this place.
 
Hello Sexy!! Why are you always away when I'm on?? Do I stink that bad??
OIY, Note to self """Damn Kim, take a friggen shower already"""" hehehehehe

I'm scaring away the mens! So your in a bit of a funk these days?? I think we both were on the same ship and missed each other, how the hell did that happen????

I've been a little um mm, less motivated in my working out in the past three months then I have in the past two years, I caught the shit hole blues!!!!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not gaining weight, I'm actually losing, but I would be if it wasn't for my lack of food intake these days. Luckily, I don't have half the appetite I used to when I was working out, or I would be in for it, that's for sure.

Ahhh Randy, Don't be sad my baby! it's going to be ALRIGHT!!! Kimmers is here to keep you focused and in check! And I expect you'll do me the honors in paying it forward.

Lots of V huggings!!!
***Kim reaches out with big ole' hugs for her bud******
:waving:

I chance this is an extension of those of us that were cast aside socially, yet always had great stories and decent dialog to share but never found our approachable comfort zones while we were of a size that hindered us.

Let's face it - and the stories are countless on here - we're not the 'life of the party'. It hurts, yes, but it also is a hurt that fuels our weight losses, for some.

I love the safe haven WLF is here for the socially-lacking still transitioning. We have no prejudice here - something we can't avoid IRL.

Me luv you long(er) time :)

I dunno what V hugging is, but I am willing to learn.

Pshaw, homeboy, speak for yourself! :p

LOL!!! No, I really liked "I chance this is an extension of those of us that were cast aside socially, yet always had great stories and decent dialog to share but never found our approachable comfort zones while we were of a size that hindered us" and totally agree!

HUGS!!!!! :hug2:

I agree - I think it is a lot easier to be 'yourself' (or someone you have always wanted to be IMO) someplace like here than IRL. There is very little risk and great reward it if works out. I have been much more honest with myself in this environment than I ever was in my real life.

Unfortunately, even here, I think there are those people who cannot find their voice, or if they have found it, can't find an audience to listen.

Sad but even here, sometimes the prejudices of real life find a way in. For the most part I think that those who want to find their voice can find it here.
 
hey there Mr. Randy :)

hope you're feeling a bit better today. Happy Thanksgiving if you're celebrating :) we don't have it here, but last year when i was living in budapest there was this girl from alabama who made us proper southern Thanksgiving dinner lol...i didn't know people can make that much food for one holiday. but i enjoyed it :)

anyway...i'm sending you some positive vibes across the ocean
and a big big hug :D

A twisted one, but a wordsmith nonetheless.

Journal amalgamation is a mystery. Who's to say what connects who to whom.

If I have a prejudicial stance at all, it would be reserving my right to not criticize the "I'm on the ______ diet" fans. It's just too painful to read. On the other hand, my favorite diary attractant is courage. And humor is a must.

Well thank you Ms. Lena :) Welcome to America - the land of excess.

Your vibe has arrived. My plan is to eat 2-3 bananas one hour before I leave for dinner, graze off the relish plate and have one plateful of the traditional food. Dessert may or may not happen. I'm not really a sweet eater. Breads, taters and noodles are my Achilles heel. It's best I accept this isn't a day to nail down 1500 cals as my limit, which is fine, because I've been working hard to allow for today.

*hugs across the pond*
 
Here's to hoping everyone made it through T-day without mega-guilt. If you fucked up, just move on. No reason to let it ruin your entire winter and just say "'well, I have leftovers and pies and shit and then there's xmas ahead and that's gonna throw me off, too, and then there's winter blues after that so I'll grab control in April...."

I hit my 4000 cals roughly, but I did uphold my plan smartly, too. I already administered a morning walk. I'm back in my own environment surrounded by good foods. We're getting shit done here.
