Ladieofthebees, that's a really good perspective. Thank you for the wise words. :)

What I mean is, I don't particularly enjoy calorie counting, but I think I blow it up into something bigger than it is, get frustrated, and give up. I find it so difficult to stay positive and motivated.

I guess my main problem isn't calorie counting, but is sticking to anything for very long. Maybe I do need a therapist! :-/

arditarose, thanks for trying anyways, we obviously have very different feelings about calorie counting! :) I have seen some success with calorie counting in the past, but I always get frustrated and gain the weight back. I'm worried that even if I reach my goals, I won't be able to maintain without counting forever, and I…

I find it tiresome, always having to get on the computer or my phone and search for the foods and everything. I become frustrated because I find it difficult to log home-made meals, and my husband loves to cook. I hate having to stop to weigh everything. Calorie counting becomes an exercise in perfection, and I get…

I have the opposite problem... People who are larger than me telling me to shut up because I don't need to lose weight. So I guess I'm the annoying skinnier person? But just because my friend is obese doesn't mean I don't need to lose weight, and it annoys me when they blow me off when I bring up something that is an…

Motivation doesn't last forever, it's what gets you started. What will bring you success is determination. The will to continue even after motivation leaves you. It's not easy but you can do it! I don't think you are unusual for anticipating meals. Today I decided to have chicken wings for dinner, and I was looking forward…

I wouldn't say my husband's weight loss was a condition to continue our relationship. I will always love him and would never leave him for it. It was, however, a condition to a fully satisfying, healthy, and happy marriage. If he cares for me and our son, I expect him to care for himself. I hope he would do the same for me…

It does sometimes make me sad when I see people with children with their carts full of cheese puffs and soda, and they whip out an EBT card to pay for it. It makes me sad when anybody does that, even with their own money! But the solution would not be telling people what to eat and feed their children. What is more…

Wow, what an amazing transformation! Go you!!! Good job! You are so inspiring. :) You look so happy in your pictures.

But... You only YOLO one.

Sometimes I find it mildly bothersome just because I want to see the person's face and it seems like they are losing their identity in their children. I'm much happier when people have a profile picture of them WITH their kids (like mine, haha). That being said, it's not something to be annoyed about, it's not hurting…

This exactly! We always say "everything in moderation" on these forums, but somehow that shouldn't apply to our children?
-
Oh great, just what we need, more mom shame and guilt. Is it any of your business what people feed their kids? I guess I'm a terrible mother. My son had a whole little cake to himself on his first birthday to smash everywhere and eat. I posted photos of it all over Facebook. I also feed him cookies and other treats…

I'm in for 50... good challenge! My greatest difficulty right now is beginning an exercise habit. :)
