awhile ago I posted I was OK with it and this morning I almost posted "never mind". but I stand by that post, just want to add:

I am OK with whatever size I end up - I am OK with the number on the scale or on the tag in my jeans. and I will have jeans that fit me.

I am NOT OK with feeling crappy, feeling weak or having no waist. I liked having a waist and I want it back again.

so, it's not about my size but how I feel, basically.  that's the update.  smooches all round!

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

That makes a lot of sense honeypie!!  Health looks different on everybody, and goal looks different on everybody.

I think a really wise goal is one you can MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN!

I also think it does not serve someone to be size whatevs and be neurotic all the time about it, make themelves and everyone else miserable because whatever size they want is not a reality for their body *for whatever reason*

Mu WAH!!


Edit to add my dwarfie's picture because your dwarfie's picture is so cute!  I know yours is a randome dwarfie, but this was my Russian White - Hammylton!  Lookit he was sitting on his peanut, cleaning his foot!  CUTE HAMMYLTON!







And this is not a dwarfie, but its a good hamster picture!  Its Hamlyn, Because when the Lawd Made Hamstahs and rollie balls, He chuckled and said "It is good!"

I had to go back and find your first post.  Somehow missed it.  I think I understand what you are saying.  The thing is, when we gain too much, we DO feel crappy. 

I'm finding that if I can even 1.5 pounds I "feel" it.  Maybe it's in my head.  But I'll take it.  Hope it keeps up, cuz maybe I'll be able to keep this off. 

Oh what a tangled web we weave...

Some people might not support my WLS decision. 
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

"I think a really wise goal is one you can MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN!" Ride on Brandi!!!
That is why I picked 150 as goal instead of 130.  When I was younger I could maintain 150 easily.  I drove myself crazy trying to maintain 130.  I don't want to do crazy anymore.  I just want to feel healthy - and boy do my knees love the weight loss.

IT's all about loving yourself unconditionally no matter where you are AND taking into account you want to be the BEST you, you can be.
