I am so glad to see everyone taking the time to post not only that you're in, but where you are emotionally about it...
frits, you've got a tough situation going on. A poster characterized his behavior as "unwanted" or a similar word, and my thought was that it wasn't unwanted. Not that you're interested in starting something, but that he's not acting inappropriately and you don't mind, maybe even like it. The problem is that you don't want to respond and therefore have to avod him. Am I reading this all wrong?
BonnieV, strong work. Enjoy your first 5k. Ahhhhh, I miss those. I will be looking for you every day, logging in your runs.
lemonjen, I want to give you and your whole family a hug. The stress of what you've been through and now, like you said, figuring out the your new normal must be overwhelming. I give you a lot of credit for recognizing that you're not coping in a healthy way and to say no more. I look forward to watching you succeed. I, too, have 50 to lose, but unlike your realistic goal of 15 for this month, I find myself fantasizing about 10 pounds a week like they do on Biggest Loser.
skinnykitty, we can always count on you! Four years of maintaining... what I wouldn't give for that. You're an inspiration. And to get in there and change your goal -- now that's control! I love it.
And me. I have always struggled with my weight. I have also enjoyed some sustained periods of being at a good weight, but mostly it's a battle. And this time I have gone further than ever before. And it's taking its toll. I can't easily move around. Picking something up off the floor while seated...I can barely get to it. And walking up a lot of steps and then having to catch my breath. And just how terrible I look. Holding things in front of me so people can't see how big my belly is. The list goes on and on. I just want control over myself and, frankly, I want to look good.
So here we go. One step at a time. Thanks for joining me. And if you're reading this and haven't declared yourself IN, wait no longer. The more the merrier, if you have more to lose or less or none at all and just want to be involved...come on in.
