Feeling discouraged - and yes i know i shouldnt and i dont know why i am ..

but im down 48 and i still have 74 to go.. UG!

I know it, patience is not my virtue. But its kind of like birthdays, the alternative to not having them sucks. I just have to try and celebrate my successes and go on, because the only other option is to quit trying, and I have too much time, money and effort invested to quit now. I am pot committed.

You are doing great! 48 pounds down is awsome. Try to focus on the positive and take it one day at a time. As they say, it's a marathon not a sprint. All the best!

You are doing great! Yes, it is a long road to goal, but you are well on your way! Goal just seems so far away so I have tried to set little mini-goals along the way.

One of the things that has helped me the most is setting out the next item of clothing I will be able to wear. I have saved clothing over the years in hopes I would take off weight and get back into the stuff. I went through my closet and tried to organize it by size. I sometimes try things on to see if they fit. I will bring to the front of the closet the pair of jeans or whatever that is just a little too tight to zip comfortably or too tight to wear in public. I try them on about once a week and before I know it, they fit! It is just so much better than looking ahead to that final goal weight.

Thanks Guys!!

I actually am headed to florida in a month to visit my dad - my goal is 12 more pounds for a total of 60 by the time i go.

I also went through the chest of clothing i have from diets past and pulled out a bunch of tops that fit great now.. and just in time to go away!! I have been able to get into a pair of jeans in there - they fit great,,, and another pair is just about there....

I am working on the now and not the when but its hard.. ive failed so many times after getting to about what i am now that i am afraid that i will fail again like i always have at this point.. if i pass this on the next wall for me is getting below 200...

Oh, I also had HAD to go shopping yesterday for new underwear and bras lmao!
