Weight

Hello all my faithful weight checkers :) I am torn.....I am happy to report I have not gained weight, but I am disappointed to announce that I have not lost any either. But......this should be the week for my "friend" so perhaps I am doing better than I thought :P Allen lost another pound this week. Horray for you! I am still in the lead by a small margin as far as I know though. Keep praying for me. I am really dropping off in the motivation department.

This is key for you to maintain during a time you usually gain, babe! That means a projected 2-lb loss next week! :o)

Is there anything you can focus on that is motivation for you? Do you feel better with the 45 lbs gone? Do you notice anything that makes you really happy to have gotten this far? Is there a chance if you lose a lot more you can have that fourth baby?

I'm trying to think of something to help. If you can pinpoint something that makes you feel motivated via feeling happy about the weight loss, tell me!!

Yeah wouldn't that be great? I am still having a pretty good run. I have still lost 5 pounds in the last 4 weeks :)

Nope...no more kiddos allowed. He said it isn't weight related. Yes, I am soooo much happier. I just don't have any motivation to lose faster. I definitely don't want to gain any back though.

On May 6th, I actually thought about quitting completely on this weight loss rollercoaster! What the hell, who would really care if I went back to 329 pounds! At least everyone would feel better about themselves because they could say that I was fatter then them and they would feel better at their current weight! I could just sit on the sidelines and watch life go by eating all of my favorite foods! I was tired of "suffering" from eating correctly and exercising! It didn't matter that I lost over 60 pounds. Hardly anyone ever comments on my blog! I write down things that I think would help others and yet I don't even know if anyone reads what I write or even cares! I felt like erasing everything!
The only thing that kept me in the game to better health and losing weight was Buddy and how much healthier he is today. I thought about how happy he is that he's getting his wife back, how I used to be when we first got married. Next I thought about all the books that I read and how much I believe in what they say and how they in fact did help me to gain confidence and help me to lose weight. Finally I thought about all the people like you who I would not want to disappoint or discourge because I decided to give up on my dream!
Yes, I know I have lost 20 more pounds then you, but that does not mean that I am better than you or that you are worse than me! You and I are teammates playing the same game with the same goal! So lets keep going and stay in touch more because I do need you and your encouragement, without you I would have never been inspired to lose weight in the first place!

I would certainly care if you quit. I need your wisdom, encouragement and commeraderie.

Lots of hugs and kisses to you! Keep on keepin on my friend :)
