WANTED: True Motivational Pals (Tired of all of the whining bloggers and excuse makers)

Pattycake755

Wow! I used to love to read the MFP blogs, but I found out that some of them were the same story. They usually provide a new twist to "the excuse." And here it is: "I don't want to work at losing weight. I want to be like _____. They can eat whatever they want, when they want and never gain a pound!" Sadly, they are really "yo-yo dieting" because they keep wishing that they would not have to work at it, but NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE UNLESS WE MAKE PERMANENT LIFESTYLE CHANGES.

Oh yea, the excuse is fancily dressed in entertaining sentences and paragraphs, but it is really a complaint about having to work at "taking care of yourself!" ARE YOU NOT WORTH IT?

Then you have the "enablers" that identify with the "excuse-making blogger", and how dare anyone share a different opinion. They immediately feel attacked, but that is another conversation for another time. In a nutshell, the "enablers" identify with how hard it is to lose weight, and how challenging it is to love yourself enough to take care of YOU!

At the end of the day our motivation should be that we love ourselves enough to treat our bodies well. I am not extreme on either end of the spectrum. You can be a no-carber, a low-carber, a moderate low-carber, on a low fat diet, a high protein diet, Paleo dieter, Mediterranean dieter, a intermittent faster, etc. I just want fitness pals that are serious about their journeys. NO EXCUSES PLEASE.

I am 58lbs down with 72lbs to go, so I have by no means arrived. I need inspiration and motivation from people who are succeeding. I am so tired of people explaining in various ways how they are failing to lose weight and keep it off!

Add me if you are succeeding and have made your weight loss journey a permanent lifestyle change because you care about you.
