I agree about the confidence. I used to have it and to be honest, that was the best times of my life! I was going out, having fun, flirting, dating, and just loving life. I'm not sure if I'll ever get that back but I promise I'll try. Not just for this guy, but for myself! I miss that feeling.

Thank You. I would like to think that personality would win over looks, but we all know that is not always the case :neutral:

Can I just say how much I love this site?! You all have been so supportive and have had nothing but nice things to say. You have also given me very good advice. THANK YOU ALL!

Thank you all for the comments and support. Looks like I'll just need to with the flow on this one and try to love myself along the way. A tall order as I was never confident even when I was thin.

You look a little like Aaron Rodgers in your after pic :smile: (I'm a Packer's fan!) Looking good!

May I say...even as a heavier person, you were gorgeous and looked like you had amazing legs with no cellulite at all!! Great work and congrats on your amazing success :)

I'm speechless!

I like the idea of tracking how I normally eat first and then make changes from there! I can't thank you all enough for taking the time to respond to my post.

Thanks for the tips. How do you log something that you do not know the calories of? For example: Let's say I order out and get French fries or a sandwich...how do I know how many calories those FF or that sandwhich is since they are coming from a restaurant? Or do I just pick an option and go with it?

Time is one of the reasons that keeps the motivation at bay. To think how much weight I have to lose seems overwhelming and that it'll take "forever". But you are absolutely right...time moves on anyway and if it ends up taking me 2 years to lose the weight, so be it. So many times I've started a weight loss journey only…

Congrats! 30 lbs lost...or any lbs lost for that matter...is ALWAYS a success! Keep up the great work :smile:

Scoronado3...currently? I do not work out. I actually just put my planet fitness account on freeze.

Thank you all for taking the time to read and respond to my post. It is comforting to know I'm not alone in my struggle. I had thought it "clicked" for me last year, but I guess not. I am too easily influenced by all the "bad" food all around me. I think that's my biggest struggle. Feeling like I CANT EVER have my desserts…
