This place can be positive or negative depending on your outlook. I've noticed that when I remain active here by following the struggles or joys of others and, most important, leaving a comment, I'm helping myself probably more than the person for whom I'm leaving a comment. It takes courage initially to post your first question or topic. What if no one responds? What if I make a fool of myself because I put words together like a monkey with a keyboard?
I forgot what my intended message was here. I guess it's something like the penny jar one finds in a store. Take a penny for yourself when you need it, leave a penny for someone else in case they need it.
Thank you to all the kind people out there who've left a penny for me. Here's my penny for someone else. Please take it if you need it. (This penny is a metaphor,
).

" I agree completely. We gain at least as much as we give. "
Agree! Me too! I'm just glad it's not weight I gain.

Ain't it the truth! I've been busy elsewhere for 3 weeks and missing my group. Had to get back to "da ranch" and check in. Down 50 pounds, and at a plateau for 2 weeks. I didn't start this with a goal in mind, just wanted to see where I could go with this. But now I suspect I'm afraid of losing another 50#. I suspect I'm afraid I won't know myself anymore. Right now I don't look that different in the mirror, but I need to feel I am ME when I look in the mirror and another 50# gone will create a very different image. Has anyone gone through emotions like this? Any tips?

I see it in my face. My face is the first place that gets bloaty when I gain weight. Now my face looks long and taut (and not in a good way.) I had no wrinkles when my face was fuller. I have another 90lbs or so to go -- until I reach my madeupical goat* weight. I still wear loose, baggy clothing so there isn't much of a change in my clothing. I've always been modest with the way I dress, so I doubt if I'll ever start wearing something too form-fitting. Plus, I tend to wear dresses. I haven't tried wearing a pair of jeans in over a decade. Feeling confident enough to wear a pair of jeans without hearing those backing-up beep-beep noises in my head might be a future fun goal.
*initially a typo, but I like it!
