I have to admit, when I started this site in August, the first time I saw this subject, I cringed. I didn't get it.
Well, now that I have lost 40lbs and I am officially in the Overweight category and out of the Obese category...I get it.
It took me many, many years to finally understand that I wasn't happy the way I was. I did want to and actually could lose weight if I tried. 15 years to learn that lesson. I will never go back. Never. I was always an athletic person and I allowed myself to get beat down and I buried myself in my weight.
No more. I look forward to going to the gym. I miss it if I don't get there. It is MY time, and I love that.
My next goal is to get myself in that Normal range. Bring it on. I am ready.

I LOVE THIS! Great attitude. LOL My husband and I were just talking about the straw that broke the camels back for me 3 years ago and started me on this journey. I got mad. This wasn't fair but I was going to do something about it. I finally faced it head on. It's not an easy journey and that is for sure, but it can be done if you DECIDE and keep your chin up.
I'm cheering for you and wishing you the best! -Bobbie0 -

Congrats! I too was very excited the day I got on the scale and it finally read a number that was in my "overweight" range, no longer "obese". Keep it up, "normal" is just around the corner!0
