Check up yesterday

I went for my 2 month check up I was down 52 1/2 pounds as of yesterday. Is that good or not? I was expecting to lose a pound a day so it should be 60 pounds right. I'm just so afraid this isn't going to work because all of the other stuff failed. And I know they failed because of me and I guess I just don't have the faith in myself that I need. I'm 2 1/2 pounds from my first goal which is 300 pounds. Then I can put that behind me and move on to my second goal which is 250. Were any of you guys kind of scared to lose weight? I know its stupid, but I've always been overweight. I guess in a lot of ways its your excuse for not doing things or trying. I think maybe I've always been so scared of rejection that my weight was my excuse for not trying in relationships. It was like I know he'll never accept me like I am so I'm not going to try. I lost one really nice guy because he said I was a fault finder. That I find any reason I can to not make a relationship work. That really sucked, but it was true. I'm just so tired of relationship failure. I know its a self-esteem issue. I guess I need somebody walking beside me saying "you are just as good as they are and they're lucky to find somebody like me" then maybe it will sink in someday. What I do know is that I deserve to be happy just as much as everybody else does and its up to me to do something about it.

I also felt that I wasn't losing enough compared to others. Just be grateful that you're losing instead of gaining! My doctor told me that some weeks you may lose a pound a day, other weeks it may be 1/2 pound a day, and some weeks you may not lose anything. Just be consistent with your exercise and watch what you eat and you'll be fine. I know of several people who are losing way slower than you so enjoy your success!!

Thank you Monique for the encouraging words. And I'd like to add that you are very pretty. I'm going to read your profile. Good luck and God bless you.
