I am cheering for you!  

You can do this! I started out nearly at a quarter ton, so I understand your struggle. The only thing that matters is tenacity, the fact of being determined. You are correct, cut the negativity out of your presence. Pay it no mind my friend. What negative people don't know, is this type of journey can't be competed by a weak person. So be strong. Stay the course. Only bend when you have to, but never break. Be an inspiration to someone who sees your effort, that you may not ever communicate with otherwise. I'm with you brother. Maintain your tenacity. Be determined. Stay strong.  

Only listen to the positive voices! I struggle with this too; one minute I hear a voice telling me I'm doing good...slow and steady, and then BAM! I hear myself saying how did you let yourself get so fat? So frustrating. We can't change what has happened, but we can change how we move forward! You are doing great buddy, and I know that soon you will be amazed at what you accomplish! 

Cognitive retraining - its as big a battle as the weight loss, but it sounds like you have a plan and know what negativity to avoid. Good for you!  

You are doing SO well! The only way to get there is by celebrating the increments--as you know and help us to remember. :-) Pulling for you! 

You are right to ignore the negative voices. You are doing so well, keep it up! 

You LOST 4 pounds! Focus on that story!
