You and I both have so much knowledge for losing but I know how hard it is. It just doesn't seem fair that some can eat and eat and never gain a pound. I have seen Jean put a lot of food down but she is so active so guess that's how she keeps it down.Keep it up. You don't fail if you don't quit. Hang in there. I understand your pain. :) 

I totally understand how you are feeling. I am right there with you. I know this WOE works and it always makes me feel better but those food cravings never end for me and I screw it all up. Another excuse :) I am hoping to go back to journaling and haunting this site... I find it really does me good because it keeps my mind on the right track. I wish you success! Some of us just can't eat like others and it is unfair. I am trying to accept this but it is not easy.  

It really does seem very unfair and most thin people think we must eat all the time. One day they will have more knowledge on what makes us one way and them another. It may be to late for me but maybe it can help the younger generation. yes, a lot is wrong choices but on the other hand we all know thinny's that eat and eat the same things with no weight gain. We are all in this together for the long term and will keep on trucking. :)  

I personally believe that each person is different and that the food pyramid and low fat/low calorie diets are the cause for some of us to be heavy. And I think it keeps us heavy because we feel so isolated and alone and wrong. I have felt like a looser my whole life because I was heavier than my friends. AS you said, it is too late for me in many ways but I now know that it was what I was eating not how much I was eating that was wrong. I gained weight on weight watchers... I know I have a food addicition to sweet flavors not just sugar. now to figure out how to overcome it. not so easy. I need to overcome it permenantly but so far, it is only temporary. I appreciate you being around to listen to me vent or to co-miserate :)  

I totally agree with everything you said and its never too late. I will be 70 next month and know the healthier I can try and stay, the better off I may be if I get sick.4'11" and 187.I once was 255. was 115 when I got married so have had a wide range. I am a pear. Ugh. In school I had a coke bottle figure. LOL I swim twice a week but due to 4 spurs, walking is limited. Good talking with you.:)Are you male or female and are you a senior?  

I am a 50 year old woman. I am an apple :) I sent you a buddy request and hope that we can celebrate our wins as well as our yucky feelings. I really find that this site is helpful for me because I can talk to others who know what I am dealing with. I lose very slowly or not at all even when I am perfect with my WOE. I have 2 artificial discs in my back, serious vertigo and migrain issues. That makes me not do so well when it comes to exercise... Plus I am just lazy. I don't want to be fighting my weight my entire life but I believe I may end up having to do it. I don't care as much about how I look but I want to be healthy... I have no children so I will have to fend for myself as I age. I need to be fit and healthy when I get older.... so I have to start now :) 

I look forward to chatting with you - and, wish you the best on YOUR journey as well...
