Greedy

[geekslave]

Like so many others, over the years I've constantly made a New Year's resolution to try and lose weight. Most years I fail miserably and don't even get to the point to even start trying to lose weight. I've lost weight a few times before, but this year feels different. It probably helps that I got to a weight that I found unacceptable (almost 200

Congratulations on the weight loss! :)

Thank you!

Thanks!

It's super hard to keep up with it. If I didn't have the goals I have and didn't have Michael helping me, I probably wouldn't be doing so well.

Thanks. :) It's a relief.

When I was dieting at first, I kept yo-yoing and it was horribly frustrating. I did read something about how it was best to have the bulk of your carbs in the morning because your body needs that fuel.

I tried a Zumba class at the gym once and it wore me out. I'm horribly uncoordinated.

Thanks again.

It's wonderful that you and Michael have successfully forged a stronger relationship after going through conflict - and it's also something you can truly be proud of, because it takes strength, courage and commitment as well as love! :-)

Also, congratulations on losing so much weight. That's really impressive! I totally get why you're impatient, but, yeah. Unfortunately, frustration at weight plateaus and slow progress is pretty much an innate part of the entire weight loss battle. :-/

:) It definitely feels great and gives me hope for the future.

Thanks. Yeah, unfortunately I know it comes with the territory. I just have to learn to deal with it.

I'm so happy to hear that things are good in your relationship. It sounds like you and Michael are really happy. :)

And congrats on the weight loss. 30 pounds is a lot, and even though I can understand that you're getting greedy and want to get to your target weight asap, I think you can be proud of yourself already.

I'm terrible with weight loss - a few years back, I lost about 16 pounds because I had stomach troubles for months and couldn't really consume anything but bread and tea without feeling sick. Nausea aside, I was super happy with how my body felt and looked back then, but unfortunately, I have a massive sweet tooth and no self control. As soon as my stomach was back to normal, I gained all the weight back. I'm not overweight, but I do miss the figure I had that summer.

[geekslave]

We definitely are. :D

Thanks! I am proud that I've managed to lose a lot and so far keep it off.

Hopefully one day you'll get that figure back.
