OMG, I was just sitting here thinking about my weight loss goals. I realized that I need to lose about 120lbs. That is the weight of a normal sized woman! I have the extra weight of one whole person on my body. Holy cow! Isn't that weird to think about? If you are in the same situation, I guarantee that thinking of it that way will certainly keep you from eating that pint of Ben and Jerry's. The funny thing is, I don't feel like I have the weight of one extra person on me, but I sure am ready to get it off!

    I also need to lose a whole person:( feel the same way, I don't feel slow or slugish, but imagine how much pressure it puts on our heart! I just wish it was easier to lose, I love my food, lol.

    I need to lose a whole child? I'm not sure how much one weighs, but I'm going for 40 lbs. So I too need to lose a whole person!

    That's the same realization I came to that made me truly want to lose weight. You can't force your self on a diet, otherwise you'll never stick to it, ya know? You have to want it...and it finally hit me that I weighed the same as two of my sorority sisters combined. Huge turning point.

    I know exactly how you feel and thank you for putting it into perspective for me. I have been fighting for a way to help keep me motivated and I think that thinking along those lines will do it.

    From my starting weight to my ultimate goal weight, I need to lose one large person or two medium children. Half my body weight. Ugh.

    Here Here Sister!!! I was just thinking the same thing.. Even worse then that I am worried about my skin when this skinny girl is free of another person on her. I will always show the 300+lbs I have put on my body. I also worry about my face. I have always been the fat girl with a pretty face. What is my face goes south and i look older then I am or UGLY!!! I am kinda scared to be skinny sometimes.

    Oh I dunno. I consider myself normal at 150 but all I really want to say is: Just don't lose YOU. It's amazing the things we think of though. I think of bags of flour and anything I pick up that I know the weight of. Let's do this!!

    Don't let fear stand in your way. I bet you will look just as pretty when you get to your goal and just think of how much healthier and happier you will be. A happy, healthy, thin girl always looks better than a tired, depressed, chubby one! LOL

    I love it too, maybe they put crack in the food to keep us coming. Even though I must say I have been proud of myself I haven't went to the devil place for over 2 months!

    I am fairly sure I will end up losing 1/2 my body weight as well... or what I weighed in college plus a few pounds! It is scary to think of in those terms! Admittedly I will be losing a *small* adult... but I'm supposed to be a pretty small adult to begin with! :)

    Working right now on losing my 5 year old... 3.6 pounds to go (yes, he is a very small 5 year old too!)

    I'm worried about what I'll look like at the end of all of this too... I've been 35-40 pounds lighter than I am right now fairly recently (about 4 years ago)... but beyond that I have no idea!

    Yikes, don't eat fast foods because they are made of polymeric chlosteric "plastic" organic liquids (compounds) that are magnetized that have a feature that causes it to change polarity and it sticks to your body as fat!

    OMM! You put it perfectly! Most of my post high school years people have told me I look younger than I am, and I've always joked that my fat is just natural collagen. I've seriously wondered how much I will age when I get smaller. I have a friend on here who is in her early 40s and she looks FABULOUS, so I'm hoping I will be like her!

    I am feeling the same. I've not lost alot and i can already see an extra line on my face.,.argh but right now i'm always bothered by my wieght. I hate clothes shopping as i can never find anything to fit. So when i'm slimmer i'll just have something different to bother me. It's always something atleast when i'm slimmer i know i'll be a bit healthier.
