    Tami,
    Your honest sharing was amazing. Thank you!

    My goal is lifestyle change!!! Sometimes when I get down to that next size I am afraid to give away my bigger clothes...."what if I gaint he weight back and need them again?" We do not have much money and purchasing clothes that fit has been a challenge for me.

    Everytime I am tempted to put something bad in my mouth, I ask myself..."will this help you reach your goal? Is this what your REALLY want?" and 99 times out of a 100 I put it down and don't eat it.

    I am a firm believer in the fact that this loooooonnnnngggg journey towards true lifestyle change is made up of minute decisions every moment of the day!

    What gives me the courage and resolve to do all of that? It is people like you and banks and arewethereyet!!!

    Thank you for being you!!!

    Tam,

    Thank you so much for sharing this great story. You are an inspiration to me. I have been struggling for over a week to eat healthy, my computer went down and I had to wait on the phone company to send me the Modem box that I needed to get it up and running again, I did horrible, but I know that I can do this and I am getting right back on it. Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you for always being so positive.
    You can definitely do this and reach your goals despite some setbacks now and then. Just try to move forward and don't let them derail you completely.

    Good job in getting back on it! :flowerforyou:

    Thank you!! :)

    I am sure that anyone here who has lost a significant amount of weight or is on their way to losing it can understand that fear. I think the important thing is to gain confidence while losing the weight. You know what you are capable of....how strong and determined. There is no reason you can't feel confident that you can keep this up forever. I know it's easier said than done but I can honestly say that is what I have gained this time around. That doesn't mean I never have a fear..but it just means that I feel sure that I can do this forever despite not always being perfect.

    And I am so happy to help you to feel more confident and to have the courage to keep this up. :smile:

    Tami.... you continue to be an inspiration to so many. I know that looking at your success spurs me on when I am feeling it is all to hard. These past few weeks have been diffficult for me. First we were away on vacation and eating out for all meals and then I had meetings at work where we had breakfast and lunch brought in and then out for dinner for 2 days. Throughout all that I continued to work out hard and although I didn't lose, the only weight gain was through sodium and it is all gone now.

    This posting of yours was the kick in the butt that I needed. Thanks for putting me back on track
