    Thank you all!! I’m about 5’8” tall, and I guess my best tip is to put yourself first for a while and stop eating garbage and get up and move. I have tried to lose weight forever, and always got back in the vicious cycle of eating/feeling bad about it/eating more because it didn’t matter. Now it really matters and can set me back by 2 weeks to indulge in something that isn’t worth it. I did get a fair amount of sabotage from those that didn’t want me to succeed for some reason. Strange insults about my clothes/shoes/hair that I didn’t understand at the time but now seem obvious manifestations of insecurity. People treat me differently for sure, and I shallowly enjoy it but it does make me bitter at times. I’m not suddenly any smarter/funnier than I was, but people seem to think I am. It’s not fair, and not nice. I still love my real friends that loved me fat but tried to help me see potential. The rest can suck it!

    You do have some insight with all that you have witnessed and lived thru with others that have watched you change.
    I feel that whether I am thin or heavy....I am the same exact person but when I am thinner....there is a different vibe that people present to me than when I am heavy. I like the positive vibes but do I not deserve positivity when I am in a heavier physical state? Looking back do you not notice "fat" prejudices? It kind of makes me irritated and angry. Is it real or is it a conception I've fabricated? Maybe I think too much...lol!

    Totally real! I don’t think people even know they’re doing it, and then my reaction was to sit down and shut up. It was a vicious cycle, and I have to remember now not to be too loud and obnoxious. I fail frequently.

    Awe! You're such a beautiful lady! You look so young too. I originally lost 50 lbs by doing low carb. However, I gained 30 back just this year. I feel horrible. How do you stick with it? It seems like a never ending cycle... Eating well and then falling off the wagon.

    Thanks you guys! I experienced the low carb rebound last thanksgiving and then it just didn’t work when I tried it again. I went to CICO only, eating little bits of healthy food when hungry only, and that finally started my loss again. I think the number of calories in low carb diets just were too much for me, and low cal/low carb is very hard. I skip breakfast, 200 calories usually cream of wheat at lunch, small snacks and very small bit of whatever is for dinner. I’m rarely really hungry, so that helps. You can do it, just don’t wait!! Today is your day!!
