I wish you alll luck... i'm giving up

I hear you, Lori.....pretty disgusted myself.  I was down to 259 in August (lowest I've been in years) and now high 270's again....don't even know for sure cause I don't want to get on the scale.

I've never put forth the effort of 110% like you have, nor had your success.  You'll find your way...I believe that.  Praying for strength for both of us!

Nope, giving up is NOT an option however I think you should give your body a rest, maintain and not be so hard on yourself and then later if you feel like trying again, do so.  If not, don't.  You already ARE a success!

If you were once over 300, and are now are 230, that's awesome!  I've been over 300, and I felt like crap!  I will never give up!  I know what will happen if I do, and if I let my addiction take over - I will go to an early grave, and feeling just horrible!  My beautiful life with my husband and cats and having the career I like will disappear, and I will be on death's door.

I am currently seeing a therapist to deal with the issues behind my overeating.  She made a hypnosis tape for me recently, and I have been playing it every night, while I drift off to sleep.  Everything takes time, so be patient with yourself.  I've never been able to just maintain a weight, so if you can do that for a while, that's a positive start back to losing again.

Take care,

Just because you've decided to call it quits for now doesn't mean you can act like me and not come around here missy!  Though I know how hard it is to find your way back here when you're not eating right. God do I ever know.  I'm back up to 299.  That's only 9 lbs less than I started in Jan 2008.  I'm still down 31 lbs since 2007 though so I guess that counts for something.. Bull**** it does. that's nothing compared to what you have done!

Ok ..first of all..the guy was obviously not worth it..if he could tell you that you are to big..thats bull****!! yeah..some people in this world is twisted and things do revolve around size and it shouldnt! but it does..and it isn't fair..but we cant let those people get to us..who are they to judge us? Its not the outside that matters..people need to look to the inside and get to know us before being so judgemental! 

And giving up? I"m with the others.maybe you need to just take a break..maybe your body has gotten use to what you are doin..but you have lost a lot and there are people on here that look up to you! They see the weight you have lost.and they admire that..and they think..if she did it..i can do this!!! you lost the weight..and some of us others that want to lose it..dont feel so alone..you prove that it can be done..you give us hope..you cant give up..you have come way to far to give up now! You are beautiful!! And i hope you never think different! u look fantastic!!
