in Health and Weight Loss
and i mean that in the nicest way possible. Let me elaborate: i browse the boards and see too much self loathing/degrading. I see "im just destined to be big forever" on bad days, and we all have those...but then i look at profile pics....and the people saying that are not that big. So i want to put this out there; i dont care if you are 50lbs or 950lbs. I dont care if you eat nothing but cheeseburgers or nothing but lettuce. I dont care if you cant do a pushup on your knees or you just did 1000 without stopping. I want to shake every last one of you and say ladies you are beautiful and gentlemen you are handsome! And whatever your goal is, even on bad days, you CAN get there. if you have been put down due to weight, i apologize on behalf of the one who put you down. If you have people trying to sabotage your efforts, even without meaning to, i encourage you to tell them NO THANKS, IM IMPROVING MY PERFECTION. Too many of you wallow in self doubt and that bugs me because i know you ALL have something amazing about you. And if a message from a stranger can help you see that, i am glad. Dont ever give up on YOU, because theres one Troll that doesnt want you to.

    Thank you and I completely concur! If a weak-willed, self-indulgent, older couch potato like me can pull of a 100 pound loss, there's success at the end of EVERYONE'S journey. Hang in there and keep being that positive!

    VERY guilty of MUCH self-doubt!!!! Sorry to offend others with my self-doubt. When you hear so many negative things for so long you start to believe them. :( I have to overcome negativity in my journey and I realized that before I started. Negativity has been my defeat and I can't let it hinder me this time. Thanks for your post.

    I think everyone has a little self doubt in them. I did not know if the radical planning on my diet would work or not. I tried the route of eating all my calories and actually gained. The only logical step was to cut back on fat and calories and see what happens.

    I firmly believe everyone can become healthy if they put their mind and body to the task. You have to convince yourselves you are going to succeed. You will succeed if you believe in yourselves.
