    Hi Sean...what a vulnerable introduction; it's admirable. At my heaviest, I weighed 286...I was married 20 years and decided to leave (it obviously wasn't that easy - but none-the-less, I left). I began losing weight due to the LACK of stress in my life. I wasn't trying really because I made a decision to not do anything I wouldn't live with. I was done dieting...it had never worked. I do understand that being smart and making smart choices can be a life change, and should be, but be happy with each successful day. Don't let your happiness be attached to a goal you've yet to attain. I just stress that because I look up and 4 years and over 85 lbs are gone and I'm a different person on all levels. My happiness flourished as I found myself; sounds so cliche' but true.

    Anyway...every smart day is a successful day....I just remembered posting on my wall 5 minutes ago a rant because I have been good for 7 days and haven't lost a pound. :) I need my own advice. :wink:
