    "i'll be ugly anyway because i'll have disgusting saggy skin, so why bother?"
    honestly, i haven't found a way to disprove that yet - my only motivation is knowing i'm getting stronger and healthier.

    I don't really care if I'm fat. It doesn't bother me.
    Yes it did. And I did something about it.

    I didn't think I could be happy not eating whatever I want, whenever I wanted to. I would either starve myself or binge eat. I thought eating 1200 calories or less a day was necessary and that if I ate more than that then I might as well eat whatever I wanted because that day was already a waste anyways. Man, I was dumb.

    that i was happy being fat (and i WAS, just not happy with how i LOOKED)

    that 2 kids, a disabled husband and a lot of stress would do it to anyone

    that i was healthy even if i was fat

    I used injury, stress, lack of sleep and hypothyroidism as my excuse. No more!

    Honestly, I never saw myself as obese..
    It was such a gradual process that I became like the frog in the boiling pot.

    It wasn't until the water was starting to real boil did I start to take notice.

    I know tat it is pretty lame but I tried getting away with the old I broke my back, ruptured my colon and my spleen excuse. But once I had the colostomy reversal I really didn't feel like it was a viable excuse any longer.
    Yeah I know "LAME!"

    yeah... my 'boiling' day was probably the day i realized I weighed 250 pounds.

    that was a really crappy day. LOLOLOLOL

    i never made excuses for my obesity, rather i just accepted it. looking back, the reasons I became fat, quit smoking, became a pasta/cheese/bread vegetarian and bought a car all around the same time.

    I didn't have an excuse really, I just didn't care that I was fat. This "diet" is the first time I've ever attempted to lose weight, and I did so for health reasons.

    I used to say, "You don't look 300+ pounds, you have nothing to worry about. You're perfectly healthy. You don't really need to lose weight to impress anyone. You love food too much. There has to be a quick fix that will help. You're not as bad as those people on my 600 pound life, you'll never get to that point. These people on The Biggest Loser are only losing weight because they have trainers. You don't have that kind of self control. You'll start tomorrow. There are still cute clothes in your size. You are sassy and have a killer *kitten*. Your husband loves you this way. Who cares what everyone else thinks? You can't even lose the weight, you've always been this way, always will be. You have a thyroid problem, when you get health insurance, you'll get that checked out and it will all drop off instantly." Almost everything up there is a lie. My husband does love me no matter what but I do want to look better for him and I want to be around for my niece. I want to really LIVE so, I need to lose weight. I don't know who skinny Deanna is, I've never met her, and I desperately want to.

    I actually gained a few pounds, unknowingly, over a few months time. I weighed 165-170 lb.

    I always looked thin with clothes on but I started noticing a little bit of skin I could grab here and there, which isn't normal for me.

    One day I weighed myself... 190. Been eating better ever since. Now I'm back to 176.6 lb, 10 more to go.

    "How can I be fat? Look at me compared to ___________!"

    Just because I am still smaller than (fill in the blank) does not mean that I haven't become FAT.

    i put my weight on so fast i didn't think i was much bigger than i had been. like someone else posted i seriously thought sizes were getting smaller. i remember thinking what size 20 pants? this store must make tiny sizes! then after a year a weighed myself. i had put 40lbs on that year bringing me up to 215. i couldn't believe it. i started the next day and never looked back
