You know it's hard to stay focused when your the only one dealing with obesity. Everyone is eating what they want and don't gain a pound. Me on the other hand can stare at a tortilla and gain weight! ..lol But for years I have been unhappy with my weight and have always put myself last. Attending everyone's needs and neglecting my own. This year I made an effort to push myself even when no-one else does. I just stay focused and do it for myself. I never buy clothes for myself because nothing ever fits and when it does I look like an old lady. Lol. Excited to say I have lost 20bls. So far its not much and its definately slowly but surely. I haven't lost that much in over 16 yrs. So believe Me I'm Excited about it.

I know all about taking care of others at my own expense. It can be really hard to put myself first, but I know it's important. Good for you for pushing yourself!0

Remember rosieredrose, you are not the only one dealing with obesity! Maybe in your circle of friends/family, but I have found this family here in MFP have been inspirational for me. The only way to be successful is to do it for YOU. We all deserve me time, and what better way than to tune in to your health and well being. Keep up the good work!

Yayyyy!!!! Great work!! 20lbs IS a big deal. I too took it slow ...making small changes that I could stick to that would add up to big results later. Glad you are doing it for yourself!! That's important. You are going to do just fine. I am rooting for you gorgeous!!0
