    Fantastic! Great reminder to stop the negative self talk. I like how you posted I got up, I did the workouts, I did weight management class.....all out comfort zone. That's positive to remind me you that YOU did this. I needed this reminder today.

    If this isn't my life story!!! I did the exact same thing last year. I got down to my lowest weight ever (192 from 272) and wasn't happy with how I looked and I gained it back in less than 8 months. Now I am trying to lose it again and this time for good. So far down 21lbs in 2 months (which is a first for me so you know I mean business this time lol) but I have a long road ahead.

    I too have been up and down with my weight for the last 7 years and now enough is enough! You have really inspired me to keep pushing and make it all the way through this time around and for me to stop with the hate talk because you are so right it is not helping the process.

    Congrats on the weight loss! You look amazing! :)

    39 million tries is a lot George. If nothing else your persistent. And coincidentally, what does it take to succeed in weight management? Right, persistence. None of us needs to be perfect, just consistently pretty good. I understand your struggle and hope you find comfort in your own skin. I don't even know you and I'm proud of you.

    This is really awesome and expresses how I'm feeling really well. After a lifetime of being overweight, I became a lifetime member of Weight Watchers in 2002 after losing 133 pounds. I thought I'd conquered it. Since January of 2016 I've lost 100 pounds and if I want to get back to my WW goal weight I still have 20 to lose. This time has been so different; I go from being scared to death to go back, yet I really feel like it will stick. I'm willing to count calories till the day I die. I've decided I'm worth it.

    You look great. I feel the same way as you do with my body image and it's part of why I let myself gain so much thinking that it doesn't matter. The thing is people do not see you as critical as you see yourself but it is hard to keep that in mind when you feel a certain way.

    Just know that you really do look great and it shows in your smile. Keep at it!

    I love your new attitude. Weight loss comes so much easier when you are coming from a place of appreciation and respect for yourself.
