I am more than a #; that being said the # was down today vs. yesterday which is my weekly weigh in! Sometimes I have to remind myself on these slow weight loss or what seems like weight gain days that I have lost 39 pounds. I look at my chart and see the progress. I am at my 1/2 way point. I remember the day I started, and I thought, whoah; how did I get to be over 200 pounds? I was creaky and tired. My joints hurt my head hurt. All of that has improved. So when I no longer see my progress and the scale is being stingy I have to remind myself.
I went out to lunch with some friends this week, and I hadn't seen them in a while, and it was a noticeable difference, and they all wanted to know, what did I do?
And there was an event at my kids school this week, and again, I guess the change is far more dramatic than I notice.
So, no, I am not a #, but I am change and improvement, and the # I correspond to right now is 39 lost 39 to go. Coincidentally I am also 39 years old, with my birthday soon coming up. I just have to lose 1 pound for each year I've been around! While I gain physical and emotional strength!
Sending warm and peaceful thoughts to all my FS buddies! Your comments and journals help me get through each minute of every day!

What a great attitude. Good for you losing all that. I'm only down about 15 and have about 40 to go.

Thanks Dboza! We'll get there, the question is how long will it take? And sometimes it's just hard! Even if you have the discipline and perseverence, you still have to be patient!

I love you Tulip!! You are doing so well!! I want to tell you that I have seriously read up on losing weight fast or slow and according and all the data you might as well lose it fast because there is no advantage to losing it slowly. It takes longer and you get bored and frustrated much quicker because the loss is so slow... When I was 13 my Mom took me to a Doctor who specialized in weight loss. The Dr. put me on a 1000 calorie a day diet, mind you that was 44 years ago. Research shows that it makes no difference in which choice you make whether to lose fast or slow, so my thought is let's get it done!!!

Mardee you are great! Now, I am ready to lose fast but i'm not sure the weight is ready to get lost! It does get boring after a while, yet I lack the discipline to do better!

Tulip only you control your destiny... Try it for a week and see if the weight doesn't fall off. Drink lots of water or even better drink one squeezed lemon with stevia to taste and two cups of distilled water add more water but don't make the lemonade too weak. 0 Calories. I have been snacking on fresh carrots and drinking my protein shakes. I eat my veggies at dinner and drink my shakes throughout the day. I have managed to get through the day on liquids and then I eat my veggies for dinner. It takes a little getting use to that's why it is good to just count calories and not go over 1000 per day. It is all about making wise choices. I count my calories for the day in the morning so I know exactly how much I can consume without going over my budget. I'm here if you need anything!

I had the worst eating day today! Not only did I have potato chips but I had a lot of dinner over at my mom's house. I even had a piece of sponge cake and bread! Homefront is shaky; the big goon I'm married to does not have any emotional intelligence, and I don't know how to deal with it. He thinks he can get his point across by slapping people. It's happened to me. Today it was my big boy. Yesterday it was the baby. This is very outdated. You can't scare people and kids into behaving the way you want. People's behavior is not under your command. I question how he grew up, and how he could parent like this in 2014. It makes me sad, that I will not experience the loving parts of a relationship, but will always be in a struggle with an ever evolving self, and a neanderthal. I am so sad. My insides are all tangled up and my energy is locked . . . I remember when I used to get the runner's high and those yoga orgasms . . . . those gates of energy are closed. I am just so sad right now. I am a big ball of string that needs to be untangled.

It sucks, but, at least you know you have to move on... We all have our moments but understanding the reality that this is a journey not a sprint will always get you through. You're doing so good, so you had a bad day, it's a new hour and you're in control to make your next best choice. Don't beat yourself up and be happy Tulip... You can do it!
