I don't know, sometimes I feel that I can overcome this weight loss albatross and other times I get so damn depressed. Today, I wonder what made me think I could ever be at 140 pounds again, I haven't seen that weight in 30 years. But then again, I think why is it not possible, why can't I achieve my goal. I deserve to have the body that I want. I get discouraged with the thought of the long journey and all the challenges that lie in between my goal and me. I want to see my eyes on my face instead of a large face with eyes. I want people to notice that I have lips, instead of a face with a mouth. I want to sleep without snoring. There is one trait I do have and that is I am persistant, so I am going to have approach my objectives with persistance. I keep telling my husband, when he cheats to try and stick with the program, cause I love him and I want him to feel the best he can. He has really bad knees and he is about 30 pounds overweight. Weighing 140 pounds will not guarantee any type of success or happiness, but I will be at a healthier weight and it will be nice to say, I did it myself, no one can do it for me...So here I am again at the crossroads of decisions.

You can do anything you put your mind to do. Over a year ago, I had some of the same feelings you're having right now. I'm shooting for 145 and haven't been there in well over 20 years. I too wondered if it was even possible for me to get there again, even though it was a weight I "maintained" as a mature adult. It is taking longer than I expected, even though I thought my mini-goals were reasonable. But, you know, it all starts with Day One, and the first pound lost. Can't go any further without going through those. Then, it's the second pound, then it's just getting on with life while you're continuing to lose. Before too long, it's 10 pounds gone, then 15 and so on. I never set an "end date" initially because I couldn't face how long it might take, so set yourself some smaller goals for shorter time frames and celebrate each and every pound lost. Use that persistence of yours to get yourself in a nice, healthy rut! LOL! November will come, December will come, next year will come, next September will come. The only question is whether you're going to be lighter and on your way toward your goals at those times or will you still be waiting at the start line, looking at how long of a journey it might be. Your decision. You have to do this for you and your husband has to do it for himself. But when you're ready....there are a whole lot of folks here ready, willing, and able to encourage you all along that journey.
