I try to be positive

You know, it's really starting to tick me off. I always try to be so positive about things. I believe it's the best way to go through life. You think positive, you get positive.

First my surgeon says I'm a bit of a slow loser. Then I tell my Mom what the surgeon said and she says "yeah, I thought so too". WTH!!! Did you expect me to wake up skinny? I sure didn't. I knew it would take hard work and determination to get to a healthy weight...and it certainly wouldn't take 3 months. I have a lifetime of obesity to battle here. I'm not going to win the entire war in 3 months. Give me a friggin break!

OK....rant over. I know I'm doing a good job. I am thrilled with my weight loss. I don't mind 1-3 lbs. a week because it's probably better for my heart. I feel good, and that's what matters alot to me.

Bravo ... Stay focused on the big picture and CHANGING your life and your health for the better. YOU are on your way and doing GREAT!!!!!!! Keep your positive attitude and BE DETERMINED to get to goal ... and YOU WILL!  (It is funny how people do expect to see you 'at goal' a few short months later ... soon it will change and they will be saying to you 'haven't you lost enough?' 'you are skinny!'.... go figure???)  Keep smiling :o)  (by the way -- it took me 15 weeks to lose 49.5 pounds and I reached goal at 11 months - you are ahead of me ... YOU are doing FANTASTIC!) hugs, Britt

Now that's the kind of motivation I need! Thanks Britt!!

You are doing great!!! Just keep your focus.  Losing slower is better to let the skin recover better....and you can rant anytime...we all feel the need every so often. Rosemary

Thanks Rosemary. I guess we all need to vent once in a while.

You have the right attitude.  You are losing and getting healthier.  This is not a race.  You feel better ... that's one goal already achieved!  Don't listen to the naysayers.  Just smile and nod.  And Rosemary has a good point about the skin having time to catch up ... maybe you won't need plastics!   Keep doin' what you're doin'  -- Maria

Here's to hoping that I don't need plastics.

You're right.....you are doing a good job and I always admire your postive attitude. As long as you are staying true to yourself, believe me, you'll get down to the goal that you hoped for. Be mindful of all the health benefits that you are now starting to experience. I'm rooting for ya! 

Thanks sweetie. You always make me feel better.

Keep your focus, you're doing good ... I hope I do as well as you.  Remember this is "your" weight loss .. and do what works for you.  Congrats
