    FRED1977 got a reaction from NewBeginningsForMe2012 in Why Is It That As Human's We Never Seem To Be Satified?   
    It's just a part of being human. I do the same things to myself, We know ourselves better than anyone and it takes time to be happy with ourselves. Just try and remember all your positive accomplishments and not let the fact that a few numbers on a scale ruin your entire weight loss journey. A 110 lbs is not easy to lose at all. Your doing great,and looking good just go easy on yourself (:

    Woohoo! Well done, you deserve to be successful.
    Now for your next goal - banish the word "only" from your vocabulary!!!! You haven't lost "only" 30lbs - you lost 30lbs that ain't coming back. Here's to the next 30lbs :-))))))

    FRED1977 got a reaction from slimagainsoon in Can I do this?   
    Yes you can do this if its really what you want for yourself. The only person you have to convince is yourself. People are always going to talk about you good or bad, you just have to be able to bounce back. I can personally tell you as a man I felt at first that I may not need the surgery because I have lost weight so many times before, that I may not need a surgery but each time I dieted I failed only to gain more weight than the last time. Food was my best friend as well I was always eating no matter what, I'm an emotional eater 100% It didn't take me long to make my decision because I was just tired of eating poorly. I was tired of feeling like crap all the time, my belly was hanging like a Christmas ornament, and all my blood work was not good. Along with the mental depression of just being overweight and my clothes were always big as sheets, made me understand that if I want to enjoy life I have to change the way I live period. My wife was in the same boat as me of course so we decided that we would have the sleeve surgery. Sure there are days that I just don't feel like I have made progress and there are days that I feel like no matter how much weight I have lost that I'm still that 316 pound man that is almost out of breath every time I walk up the stairs. I have tons of more energy I'm feeling great I still eat food that I like,and I have the occasional drink or two. I don't have any physical pain,and the weight is still coming off. I'm getting compliments from my coworkers all the time,so it makes me feel good for a change and I love it.

    The scale is just a tool like the sleeve but I do weigh in everyday just to see what foods are doing what to me. It's just a hard habit t o break. Numbers have gotten me upset before. I just try and ignore it but sometimes. Your post was great ,nice read.
