NEVER TELL YOURSELF YOU HAVE FAILED! EVER!
So I’ve told someoent his before, but I really have to stress it.
I started at about 190 last August and I got down to 155 by the beginning of January. At 155 for about 5 months of no fast food, exercise every day at the gym or runningn at home also doing cardio five days and weight training two days I had hit a terrible terrible plataue that I never got out of. Because I told myself, “maybe i just need to stop for a while, and start back up.”
I don’t know if this would have worked, because I didn’t really start back up again.
So I got all the way back to 180, only 10 lbs less than my start weight because I’d given up so much hope. After five months of very very hard work that did nothing, I let myself slip.
I’m picking myself back up, and I can’t tell you how grateful I am that I didn’t hit 190 again.
Never let yourself get discouraged with your current weight, because you don’t want to lose heart and gain.
You are always good enough. Even if you’re just fighting to maintain, it’s better than anything else.
Networking is absolutely a big one for me. It keeps it on the mind.

I’m pretty sure this is at Disneyland. If not, they do have one in disneyland.
It’s crazy how much fat takes up. @_@
Also, you can’t even really see how big the blobs are because this pictures doesn’t have a person next to it, but trust me
they’re big.

It’s extremely difficult to have a healthy body if you don’t have the right goals in mind.

BMI
My BMI is 24.9. Just a tiny bit below overweight. Depressing.
Ahhhhhh don’t tell yourself that!
Here’s a personal story!
When I was 12, I was 5”5’ and 120 lbs. That’s totally a healthy weight. But because I had big hips and cankles I got made fun of/called fat. So even though I wasn’t fat I always thought that I was. So I felt really hopeless about it. I got to 150 something by the time I was 15 and I hated having let myself go. I tried to diet, but it failed. And then again when I was 18 I was 180 and I really hated having let myself go. Each time I thought “I’d be so happy just to be back at what I was! Even though I didn’t apreciate it at the time!”(Lol, I just noticed when I was 12=120, 15=150, and 18=180. I’m 20 now. I’m glad I’m not 200.)
Even last year, I went from 190ish to 150 but because I hit a plateu I kind of lost my footing and am now at 180 again. I’m slowly trying to widdle (sp?) back down to 150. I’m NEVER going to let myself not apreciate what I’ve worked hard for. And neither should you.
Keep fighting, but know that what you’ve got is good! Even if you don’t think it is. Good luck =)
People get angry if you tell them how you lost weight. This was an amazing thing to see in practice. Nobody wants to hear that you did it by watching your food intake and exercising. They want to hear that you wore a special belt or took a pill. Hearing they need to quit drinking Coke really fires some people up.
That’s actually surprising. When I started reading this, I thought it would be about starving or someone defending radical weight loss techniques.
I’ve actually had more/heard more of a backlash on just TRYING to lose weight.
Family/co-workers/friends (although not super close friends) would see me or someone else eating well and say, “Oh, have you lost weight?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, but you don’t need to lose weight, you’re fine!”
When I started out my bmi was 30.something that isn’t just overweight, it’s obese. What do you mean, “I don’t need to lose weight.”
Nothing frustrates me more than seeing someone who is over weight who’s trying really hard to do well have someone tell them basically that they should stop. Why? Why tell them that? It’s about their health, not just their self esteem.
Now here’s an extreme example of this, but if you saw someone with caner, and they can do chemo to save their life, would you tell them, “you’re fine the way you are”? No. You’d say If the chemo will really get rid of the cancer, DO IT.
Sometimes, people will try to be supportive, but that’s really not the way to do it. And maybe it’s because some of them are fat and if you start losing weight, it makes them feel bad.(I’m not saying that’s always the case! I’m just saying sometimes it might be.)
As long as you are doing it by eating healthy, not under eating, and exercising safe amounts people shouldn’t be chastising you for it.
