I’ve been blogging now for almost 18 months. I’ve loved the community and support the blogging community has shown me. I was thinking about you all this evening. We are all on our own journeys. I’m not actively trying to lose weight, but I’m still on my life journey.
I was wondering how you answer the [...]

Why is it that I always tended to focus on all the things I was giving up when I tried to diet? I would complain to anyone who would listen about the fact that my current diet didn’t allow me to eat chocolate or chips. I would show them my little notebook full of forbidden [...] Before I gained 150 pounds I assumed that people who were overweight were lazy. I know it’s bad that I thought that way and I am sorry I did. When I was morbidly obese other people assumed I was lazy. I know they did. There is a stigma associated with weight that is not associated [...] I know it’s the weekend and I usually post something about my family or something that is going on in my life.

I thought, “Go home. Get a life. What a waste of [...] Someone once asked me if weight loss was mainly a physical issue or an emotional issue. This is how I answered her question. I said: I talked yesterday (3/29) about the fact that I didn’t feel as though I was losing things while I went from 300 pounds to 146 pounds, rather I felt as though I was gaining health, fitness, and improving my self-esteem. The other day I was thinking about my weight loss experience. I remember how it felt to buy smaller sized pants. I remember how great it was to sit in a chair without feeling like I was hanging over the sides. And I remember having a very hard time perceiving myself as others saw me. When I was at my highest weight of 305, I never completely gave up dieting. I’d be “content” for a while, but inevitably, I’d try some new eating plan in the hopes of losing weight once and for all.
