Sharons Victory's Journal, 03 July 2018

Venting...and hoping to encourage others that have it extra hard.

This weekend my girlfriend in Texas said to me "I see your posts about spin class and gym every day, daily walks and weekly meal prepping...I don't know why you're not losing more than you are."

And my heart sank...because I know it's true.

If I want to lose weight I have to weigh and measure every bite & go to the gym every single day and do difficult things like spin class and body pump.

There's no cutting 300 calories a day and adding a nightly walk to lose weight for me...just weren't the cards that were dealt to me.

But you know what? Who cares. Whining or complaining about it doesn't make it go away...and giving up isn't an option either because being fat is HARD...exhausting!!!!

I have hypothyroidism and suspect that might be why...some articles online say weight loss may still be difficult even with treatment.

But here I am kicking butt...anybody else out there that doesn't have it easy keep your head up. Just because it's harder doesn't mean we should give up...let's not compare ourselves to others, just keep your eye on the prize!!!

I wish your friend would have said something like this, but I'll say it for her: I can see you're working your butt off! That makes me happy, because I want to enjoy our friendship into old age. I'm proud of you!

Stay strong! Don't give up! I actually gave up for years before I stumbled into my solution. You WILL find what works for you :)

I know the feeling, my co-workers are full of health advice. That is fine and danny when you are dealing with other health issues that might make it a little harder to workout or eat they suggest.

Kudo to you for keeping up the active life style. I feel the same way, but I also keep the exercise the top priority whether I lose or gain a couple of pounds. We are better than the numbers or what others see on the outside.

Stay with it - weight loss IS hard; but slow losses are more likely to be permanent losses. Adding muscle is great, and will pay off in the long run. Being an adult is not foe sissies!

Set goals for you and keep working at them. Work with your health care team and don't give up. This is a life long journey to better health for you, regardless of what others think and say. You are totally worth the effort. I wish you all the best on your adventure.

I have hypothyroid as well. You need to be sure you have a really good endocrinologist who knows how to treat it. I take both a T4 and a T3 medication and I have plenty pf energy and can lose weight.

You have lost over 50lbs which is amazing! Love your attitude—you can reach your goal as long as you don’t give up even if it takes a while. And honestly, you are SO beautiful!

I’ve kicked ass when it comes to exercising since January. Ate clean. Didn’t loose a single lb until two weeks ago. But the non scale victories are endless. You’ve both lost weight and improved your quality of life. That’s amazing.

I think you're doing awesome, to my opinion I don't see you as fat at all. Keep doing what you're doing and positive attitude is what is making the success!
