I have managed to suppress it now for about 7 months...well sort of. I did some research about it when it got a little out of control last May, and I found out that all my life I have been doing it in various ways so sometimes even though I thought I stopped I never did really.
I think you will understand me when i will say I am finding it hard to tell you I am happy you are able to suppress it. I mean it is the best for you healthwise, but from the perspective of someone who is..I guess we are a little in denial about it sometimes and there is like a combination of shame and pride with it, even though we know about the health risks. And like since I am in the suppression mode right now also...it is better to feel nothing at all about suppressing it (like to just feel normal) than to feel happy about it.
Happy you found me Its so difficult to talk about mia to someone who is not. Especially when you are not typical of what they think it is. Many do not realize it is much more of a psychological thing even if there is no action that they can see. I don't know if we'll be talking about it alot since we are both in suppression mode, so no worries if you do not feel like replying LOL  Have a good weekend potnoodle you made my day today!!
CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss by the way  You are so not getting old!! LOL I think its just that you found a MUCH much better way to reach your goals than mia  Cheers to you! |
Hello, I know MIA means "missing in action", but what else does mia stand for in the context of this post?
Thank you
XO
Berta

Wow, pass a little my way on rye, lol. No! just joking  , I'm glad you are feeling better, that stuff can be really dangerous.
I've lost my "mojo" lately, can't seem to get back on track.

Rep Power: 0 | | | I'm currently at 204 and want to get down to 125. I was at an all time high of 345 in 205.
It is difficult to lose this last few pounds. But I plan to do it. I'm happy to share this journey with you.

Thank you so very much Kevin. That weight was only part of the battle. I still have some ways to go. Thank you again for your encouragement.

Rep Power: 9011 | | Well hi guys, I fell into a weight loss hiatus that I really had a hard time crawling out of this month, to be honest, my sister is pissing me off with her weight loss, and it's not because I'm not happy for her, or that I'm jealous of her (since I've lost more than she has), it's because she's the kind of person who makes everything a competition even though we'd be better off doing it together. I shouldn't let it bother me, but it does. So last week I didn't try very hard food wise, but still lost 5lbs... so I'm back down to 280lbs, and 40lbs lost so far!! Though, only the past few days I've been doing fabulous food wise. I can't get motivated to start exercising again though!! Any suggestions?? Also, congrats to everyone on their weight loss successes!! |

Rep Power: 152 | | | Hey Everyone!
Sorry I've not been around. Hope everyone is doing well.
Okay, so right now I'm at 245.5. I honestly dont know what's up with me. I think it's some emotional crap that's holding me back.
But now I've got more motivaton. I had a long talk with my boyfriend and did some self reflecting. I've realized that althought I'd like to blame others, it's me who's holding myself back.
I'm still super determined to get down to 175 by May. I should be starting school soon, so that will make it easier for me to find time to go to the gym for I'll already be in town. Oh, Please let this be the time I actually stick with something...

Veronica | Hey veronica welcome back hun
I love blaming others, its ALWAYS someone else, its "oh its annies birthday i HAD to go out" or "We went for lunch and they were all having dessert..." MEH i could write a book on excuses
You will stick with it hun i know ya will, its easy to fall of the wagon ive done it about 3 times the last 4 months, the fact you jumped back on shows you really want it
Good luck hun
