What's on your mind?

😂😂😂😂

So this seems like the best forum to post my frustration on. I’m so upset I’m crying. I weigh a lot. I started at over 290 lbs and this morning I was under 280 which to me was a victory. I have an accountability buddy who believes I need to follow everything she does to be successful. Did I workout today? No I was in too much pain would be my response. Then I would hear the disappointment and discouragement about how I’m not even trying and why even bother with me. She weighs every morning and encourages me to do the same to be accountable. If she has a drop I’ll be a cheerleader and tell her that’s great. Or if she sends me a picture I’ll comment that I can really see a difference. I genuinely mean what I’m saying. But do I get the same encouragement back? Not really. She asked if I weighed today and I said yes. She asked if I stayed the same and I said no I was down a pound and a half. Her response is oh. She has way less weight to drop then I do. I still have about 60 lbs on her and I tell her I’m probably going to drop a little faster since I have so much more then she does. I’m constantly being preached to about working out, drinking my water, eating the right stuff. I’m trying I really am. It’s been 22 days now on mfp and I’m still here. It’s just frustrating that my cheerleader doesn’t make me feel good about what I have accomplished. About well I feel a little better now.

Repeat after me...

"Ghost protocol initiated..."

That's the thing that aggravates me so much about people in the fitness industry... Everyone is a freaking expert based on the latest fitness article they read 🙄

Sounds like your partner is mostly in it for themselves, some people get off on themselves and acting like a know it all...

Thank you! 🤗.

That all being said...

Great work on your success 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼...

I use to weigh over 333lbs... Pretty sure I had maxed out the scale 😂... May have been more 😬

Now I get up nearly every day at 4a and workout for an hour before going to work... Have for years now and I'm going on 5 yrs having more or less maintained my weight loss (180lbs at the most)

I didn't get this way overnight... I've always believed the key to success is not motivation which is fleeting but rather momentum... I couldn't stop myself if I tried at this point...

Small changes over the time ❤️

Again thank you and congratulations on your success. I just need to figure out a way to avoid getting derailed by things in my life. That’s always been my downfall in the past. I want to work out more but it’s just so painful right now. My feet have been killing me and I just bought new shoes so it’s not that. I’ll figure it out. But thanks again. Nice to know I’m not invisible.

May I ask what the foot pain is like?
