    Sometimes you gotta forge your own path and set yourself on a certain journey.

    You'll be surprised who all you meet along the way.

    Also, how come nobody ever complains that they were alone and had no support when gaining weight? Probably because it's not very challenging to not watch what you eat and hardly move at all.

    Weight loss and fitness is really no more difficulty than eating whatever you want but secretly beating yourself up for packing on weight and having that inner struggle you discuss with nobody.

    Least that struggle is out in the open now and you're open to new possibilities. That's half the battle. Good on you. There's more of us sharing this road than you know. And people on the interwebs can be as good a support system as any. :flowerforyou:

    I never thought about that. You're right though! Beating myself up for being lazy and overeating was a lot more stressful than what I'm doing now. Thanks for that insight. :flowerforyou:

    My husband supports me the best he can, but I've found the people that really understand what I'm going through are right here.

    You're not alone as you think :) I found out a couple of my coworkers are dieting as well. Now we have something else to talk about. My guy isn't on as strict of regimen as I've put myself on but he doesn't help when he says you can have one day! Yeah and I gain 3 pounds...anywho just because nobody says anything doesn't meet they aren't rooting for you. And you know we are real people here too...I'll give ya a phone call if you need one! :happy:

    I honestly think we are all alone in some way. No one else in my house needs to be losing weight, I do so i face it alone. But, I do have hugs and kind words when I need them but this is my solo journey. Do your best to support yourself. I'll support you as well... :):flowerforyou:

    thank you!

    Surely you are someone's motivation and support, though? You keep on improving your own self!

    I was doing it alone for several months, then last week my husband went to the doctor and his blood pressure was up. Doc tried to put him on blood pressure meds. So now, he is in it with me.... for however long it lasts. I am trying my best to help him stay on it. But if he gives up, I will stay the course. Good luck to you

    My guy's involvement in this has been....

    1. Constantly cooking yummies that I eat n then make the rest of my macros fit with...

    2. When I asked him to look at a bf% picture chart, he picked the morbidly obese one(my stretch marks from pregnancy high weight of 204 are extreme and give my stomach a very floppy look)

    3. Bringing home pastries that just WONT fit in my plan in quantities that I eat...

    4. very rarely I do get an appreciative smack on the *kitten*.. lol.

    In his defense, he's 6'4 and physical, he can eat pretty much what he wants. Well he has a lot higher TDEE than I do anyways which makes it seem like he can eat what he wants.

    I have a sister who crash diets
    and a mom who complains about her weight, but doesn't do anything about it...

    I'd say I'm about as alone as the next person :)
