194 Lost. Unbelievable. (And leaving Frisco in the dust)

Love your honesty!  I hope that I can keep this line of thought if things get tough.  

I don't like losing at much...... (besides weight)

It was a pleasure to lose to you !!!!!

((HUGS)) Just had to make sure you saw that I wasn't bouncing around anymore *laughing* Oy, the little weird goals I set for myself, but I guess that is what's kept me sane for the past year and a half, eh?

Hope you're well too. xoxo

aww Candy..im SO happy for you!! You rock your sleeve & continue to be an inspiration to so many!! You Go Girl!!!

Wow - good for you and congrats on your success. I am struggling to get the last 15 pounds off and am starting with a psychologist this month as I keep sabotaging myself. Anything in particular you want to share about your experience with a therapist?  i.e. what issues you dealt with, pieces of advice that really helped, tools you use?

Thanks, Paula

I think everyone is different and eats for different reasons, so that's something you should set up with your own mental health professional. For me, it's about getting over a really nasty childhood and learning that food isn't love or comfort (and there's a WHOLE lot more that I don't want to go into, but that's the nutshell).

I still have days that I wish I could sit down and eat 7 breakfast tacos just to push down the feelings, but I can't, so I have to deal with those feelings. I won't lie - that's the part that SUCKS. Food doesn't fix it anymore.

Food was one of my problems, but it was also a solution to other problems. It's hard.

Also, a month ago, the put me on an antidepressant because I started having severe apathy and fatigue and, well, depression. We're working on some nasty stuff in therapy and this is to help me function while we're doing it. I blogged about it here if you click on my profile.

Therapy is hard. Worth it. But hard.

Thanks for sharing!!!  I needed your post today!  You are amazing!!!  

Make sure you say hello. I have a hard time with names! xoxo

That is awesome! You have done such an amazing job and have every right to be proud of yourself! We are all proud of you! :)
