No support from my husband.. he loves me the way I am he says, but I feel no love I feel like a fat child. Yes I'm being way to honest right now. WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN U WANT TO KEEP GOING BUT IN YOUR MIND YOU WANNA QUIT?

    You can either quit and never be happy with yourself or you can keep going and be happy with yourself. Either way, it's a choice you make. I maintained for two years because everyone told me: "Don't lose more weight, you'll be too skinny..." I'm not near skinny, I doubted my decision to stop for the last two years and I was miserable. Well I just decided, screw the people, I'm the one living in my body and I need to be happy in it, not anyone else. Everyone that knows me is against me doing it, but I will.

    For some reason I'm tearing up reading your comment.. I think that maybe I'm going through something that I probably need professional help

    You need to do this for yourself. You deserve it. I agree to talk to a professional if you feel like you need help. There is absolutely no shame in it. :smile:

    Life is too short to love yourself only when you hit an "ideal". I'm in the camp that chooses to love myself now, and love the changes that come from taking care of myself too.

    Make friends with that woman in the mirror.

    This is awesome advice.

    I've lost the weight I've wanted to and while it did help me feel better with how I look, it didn't stop me from hating myself. So now I'm working on that.

    I have heard too many people say, "I would never wear shorts out in public" or " I could never go to a pool because I can't wear a bathing suit in front of others." Listen to your husband when he tells you you look good. Can you be better? Of course you can but don't let not being perfect now hold you back from enjoying life and a day at the pool or beach.
