    Thanks for that!

    I was in the same place and now I'm not. I just go clothes shopping in normal stores when that little voice is telling me I can't do it...cures me quicklike!

    LOL I do the same now. Like, "Oh.... I CAN'T wear this dress? WATCH ME!"

    hehe

    That's exactly what you have to do that stupid voice in your head telling you that you can't do it or whatever else that ***** is trying to tell you. You CAN achieve.

    It's been 10 months since I last lost weight. I get discouraged so often. But I keep going. You know why?

    I've been wheelchair bound 3 times. Now I can run.
    I had all of the muscles in my chest cut and my right lung collapsed due to surgery. I wasn't able to use my right arm for several months, just kept it crossed over my incision. I can now deadlift 100lb and squat 120lb.

    Yes, I'm not so happy about the weightloss. But I'm ecstatic about the other side effects.

    I often feel like Ill never get to where i want to be. It is easy to forget all of the changes that have been made.

    I still think about myself as the person I was a lot of the time. When I take pictures of myself I expect to see her, and this new self is there in her place. She looks way better than before but there is a mental disconnect there. I think that will improve with time.

    Thanks for reminding me that no matter what i am not giving up.

    It's a journey not a destination. Had this conversation with my family last evening. "You lost weight, you look good, you need to relax on that".
    Not going to sorry, permanent change. Took a long time to gain the weight, little relative time to lose it. Going to be as nice as I can about it interfacing with other folks, but some things are not negotiable.
    Good luck in your endeavors.

    Lemon, thanks so much for this post. It's people like you who are really here for the right reasons, doing the right thing, and kicking a** every day. It's so refreshing to see someone motivating themselves, instead of constantly needing validation from others. You are awe inspiring and I'm honored to know you.
