Thank you, thank you, thank you. This list is so on point. I have copied and placed it on my desk top to view whether I start listening to that mean little voice that keeps trying to tell me I will not make it to goal. The liar! You look simply marvelous. Keep up the good work.15

And THIS made my whole day! I can believe I am on your desktop!7 -
Great list, especially no end date -- this is life instead. Not a bad idea to cut and paste it too when the times get tough. Well done and thanks for posting.6

Congratulations on your success and your continuing journey! It took me a few years and a few ups and downs in my weight and health to understand the need to take one day at a time. Best lesson I learned was to put a "bad eating day" in the past and start fresh at the next meal or the next day. Also learned to handle the times when I was doing well with my eating and the scale stubbornly continued to stay at the same weight for weeks at a time. Wishing you a long and healthy life!8

Best list ever! 100% agree on everything. For me, #6 was really important. I had to learn to forgive myself for getting fat. Getting fit is an act of self-love. I had to believe I was worthy of that self-love.
And #11. Having hope that I would be successful, that I wouldn't quit half way or gain it all back has been a game changer.
If I can add another: Stop setting limits on what you think you are capable of doing. There is something about living so many years as a fat person that causes one to be overly cautious. I still find myself doubting my body, not giving myself enough credit for how strong and powerful I am. So, I am learning to take more risks and test my limits.17 -
Awesome... so encouraging. I never heard of "volume eating". What is that exactly? TIA3

Spectacular list and spectacular results that speak for themselves, you look so happy and radiant. I think I need to remind myself of all 11 of these statements they all resonate with me. Thank you for taking the time to compile this list I have bookmarked this page so I can easily return to it. You have helped so many more than you know with this "no nonsense wisdom." Well done!3

Thank you so much for putting into writing the insights you have gained. I think that stop stopping, there is no end date and stop listening to most people resonate the most with me. I am learning to trust myself and listen to satiety cues.
One to add. I have had to stop using food for entertainment, recreation, escape or to nurture my hurts. I’ve always heard people say that food is fuel but i just couldn’t relate. I am beginning to really understand what that means and consider that when meal planning. .

Here is another resource to get you started on volume eating - it is more of a trick to help your body feel full for fewer calories. Great for those for whom a shake just doesn't qualify as a meal.

Love this one! So true! I had to add in extra activities to take place of food and extra emotional tools being food. ❤️❤️6 -
I LOVE this! Thank you for sharing, and congrats on your success!2

This is wonderful!!! I have also saved it and printed it out for motivation. I would like to have some constant friends and support on here... I'm a consistent logger (over 6 years now) and love getting insights from others.
I'd love any friend requests, but please send a note with it!
Wonderful advice and words of wisdom. Thank you for sharing!!6 -
All of these really resonated with me! And you look amazing, congratulations on your progress!
something else I had to STOP was falling into the 'all or nothing mentality.' If I had a day where I slightly bombed my defecit, I would sometimes just go off the deep end- either binge, or continue bombing my defecit, sometimes for days at a time. It's like I thought "well, it wasn't going to be a 'successful' day anyway, might as well gorge on treats tonight and try again tomorrow." It was just a terrible way to live. Feeling much more at peace with my journey and progress these days.12 -
I have to stop thinking it will never happen for me.
I also need to toss the "I'm stressed" excuse.
I eat too much and obviously repeat the pattern more than I care to admit.
I've had to give up believing I'm a victim.
Your honesty gives me pause and I've done some much needed self reflection. Thank you for allowing me to share in your success.10 -
Amazing, Inspiring Work, Thank you for sharing and motivating.3

I had to stop drinking SODA!
Omigawd, soda is THE DEVIL. One can of Mountain Dew = 300 calories. You could have a WHOLE MEAL for that caloric intake! Empty calories will get you every time.14 -
this thread!! I especially related to the need to stop putting an end date on it.
I had to stop putting myself last. With kids, hubby, family business, volunteer roles etc etc, I felt like my whole life was taken up with everyone else's needs, and I was left with the scraps.
Making my own needs a priority helped me turn it around, get healthier and become fitter - and really that's better for everyone.19
