Comparison Danger

So - don't get me wrong - I know that I have had amazing success - I have worked hard and reaped some great rewards. (Now let's be honest - I will admit that I could be doing even better if I kept my snacking to more of a minimum and chose healthier options and if I hadn't waited so long to get a good exercise pattern down.

But back to my point this afternoon - it cracks me up knowing how much time and effort I have put into this process so far, how much weight I have amazingly lost forever and yet there are people who are or have started their lap-band journey at the weight I am now at. :thumbup:

Although this is great for them - it makes me a little sad when i have that moment that reinforces just how far I have yet to and want to go! - OH WELL - ALL THE MORE REASON TO GET OFF MY CABOOSE AND KEEP WORKING!

It's like age...it's all relative isn't it LOL. Even starting as a low BMI'er I've have moments similar to yours...just with my own weight history as a big yo-yoer (after losing 40 pounds I realized I was now at the weight I was at when I started looking at the LB, so it made my 40 pound loss a little sad.). Like you said, 'keep working'...it's all about getting healthy and happy no matter where you start. -BG
