Right? I lost you! That would be like me picking you up and walking around all day with you. Pretty crazy and daunting and just... awe-something.

You're so close to your goal too! You totally got this!

Thanks, I have had a rough couple of months. It felt good to... feel good this morning, if that makes sense. While I'm happy with my loss and all that stuff, I have had such extreme apathy for the past 2-3 months that it was interesting to feel ANYTHING good.

Oversharing, as always, but I think you kind of know what I mean. xoxo, love ya, girl.

What you have accomplished is beyond amazing.  I can't grasp losing that amount of weight.  Maybe, if I ever start to lose again and make some decent progress, I'll "get it" and have a better feel for what you're losses are.  You're fortitude is inspirational.  That you have also done so much "head work" must feel wonderful.  Your honesty is also commendable and helpful to others.   I believe that by writing out our thoughts and then sharing them is beneficial to the writer and the readers.  You never know how your word will affect another person.

Just such a thing happened today -- your words affected me.  The topic was "perfect" eating.  Maybe it's because I'm only a little over 4 months out, but I can honestly say I have not one time gone off plan.  That doesn't make me perfect by any stretch -- it makes me compliant and fearful.  You "stuck up" for people who stay on plan -- for whatever their reasons.  Thank you for that.

Bigger thanks for posting and keeping things real.  And for your wicked sense of humor!

Keep going Girl -- you are what we all aspire to be.

You'll lose again. Stalls suck. Keep going, you're doing great... it's hard, I know...

And good for you! Some people have to stay on plan 100% of the time. I think it's much more important to do things that work for you than it is to stick to anyone else's plan. I can't stay 100% compliant, it doesn't work for me and I spiral, but I know about myself. Everyone is different :)

Hang in there, you're doing wonderfully. Really. It WILL move again, stay positive, I think that's 90% of the game.

LOL  I'm not sure this is a stall -- it's more like a freakin' brick wall!  But I won't give up........that's not me.  Tenacious as a bulldog with a ham bone to protect LOL

The extra crap with the final few lab results kind of threw me for a loop, so down about that, too.  Plus Sir Jerkwad was worse than usual..........that never helps.

I'm hangin' Candy -- by a thread!  And yep, I'm pretty positive most of the time -- today was not good and I whined like a spoiled brat!  Funny thing is that if you talk to people who know me, they will tell you I'm a Pollyanna -- just not today!

Thanks!!

Ya know what... sometimes you just need to have your little hissy fit. So go ahead, feel sorry for yourself and throw things or go punch a pillow... whatever helps. Sorry about the labs :(

You're doing okay. I know this is hard and frustrating. I wish I could wave the magic weightloss wand at your scale for you! xoxo
