I have an all-or-nothing personality. I know I can't be alone in this mentality. It's a big part of why I am overweight... I can't just cook a steak... As long as we are grillen it might as well Be a 16oz rib eye with all the BBQ fixens. If a slice of pizza is good...then half a pizza with joe joes and ranch is great! Now although this mentality has obviously helped further my obesity- it has also served me well when geared towards things that are more postive. Saving money, career goals, etc. I know I will end up channeling this mentality towards my sleeve---it's just my nature. I am looking for game plans as far as work outs and eating strategies from those who are big fast losers, that are devoted, have a high level of focus, commitment, and sacrifice---that were totally dedicated to getting the best out of their sleeve. Those who are slow losers, smaller losers, or didn't deviate from the slow and steady wins the race mentality (which I totally envy) ---their is no need to feel offended by my post as I am not knocking your process or commitment...I am just looking to connect with folks like me.

My husband has your mentality- he is very all or nothing, and follows a very steady routine. He is a frequent user here- his user name is fiddleman. He had surgery on July 2, 2012 and since then, has lost 180lbs, maintaining his current weight of 181 since Feb. 2013. Good luck!
