As women, we are made naturally strong. We bare children, have painfully menstral cycles, management households, etc. This usually done all in the same day. We are truly amazing people. That said, you can do it.

Not doubt the comments of hubby is painful but remember he is only hurting himself. Marriage means that you both become one. So he is really saying mean things to his ownself. I don't know if this helps any. I hope it does.

I can't wait to hear your great success stories.

Vicky

You are right, I always thought that I couldn't make time for exercise. But, I am finally doing this on a regular basis. I have set my alarm clock each morning so I can get up and exercise.

I need to prepare better when it comes to eating. I am going to check out the recipes section. So are you any specific eating program?

Well, I guess I need to journal a little. I have notice that I am trying to relive passed events in my life that involved food. I purchased the Kentucky Fried Chicken a few days ago trying to relive the child memories of my mother and I sitting at the table eating. I remember that Dad was at work for it afternoon. However, all I could feel once I sat down to eat it was disgust. My mother and father are both deceased. Therefore, nothing is the same at all. My brother being mentally challenge will never eat sitting down. Therefore, nothing is normal anymore. I wonder if I try love myself for I know the food is not quality food and very unhealthy. I know the 2b135Again is right, I need to not be so hard on myself. Nevertheless, I know my health is on the line being 269lbs. I have to stay the course and stay focus. I love the acronym for FOCUS...Follow One Course Until Successful. A big thanks to Donald Trump for that.LOL. Anyway, I did 31.14 min on the treadmill today. I had two mini...and I do mean mini muffins with cream cheese and a small egg white omelet. I will be soon lunchtime and I plan to eat a healthy salad.

The other day:

I was sleeping during a Thunderstorm and I could hear people running in the rain outside my window. They were running past my window. I guess I was still in the sleeping stage for I woke with the word ringing in my ears...FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT. It reminded me of my mother and what she would tell me. These words came right after a crying spell and 5 pieces of fried fatten chicken. I am glad that I heard from the lawyer but I wasn't prepared for the pain of reliving the horrible events in the hospital and fighting with two evil derange doctors.

Okay, I am trying out my ticker...here goes nothing..

Sometimes in the morning I need motivation so badly and I come on to this site and you all give me so much motivation, thank you!! It is just nice to know that we are not doing this alone and there are others out there struggling just as bad. I was up one pound this morning but I am not going to worry about that since it is just one pound. I go to the doctor today and have to weigh in so I will be interested in what their scale has to say because you know it always looks so worse on their scales!!!

Vicky, you too can have a cool signature bar. Go to Weight Loss signature tracker and make your own.

I think as long as we realize when we make mistakes and we realize what our weaknesses are then that is a major step to changing those bad habits and making new ones. Find whatever motivates you and post it everywhere so you don't lose sight. You can do it!!

That's a great tip. I have already started by printing off some of the before and after pictures, and posting them around the house. It helps also to remind myself that I want to be around for my nieces and nephews.

You have the right mind-set regarding weightloss. I had to tell myself the same thing. It is almost that time of the month and coupled with a few days of binge eating on KFC made me gain pounds on the scale. So, I decided to tell myself the truth for once. This is water weight and my real weight is whatever I lose minus the few pounds gain due to water. That way, I won't let my emotions run away with me. Doctor scales are the worst..LOL!!! It makes the home scale very friendly..

Yes, this is a great site for motivation to continue on the weightloss journey. I am trying to read more and feed my momentum instead of my mouth..LOL!!!

Thanks for the tips on the ticker I went to the thread yesterday it was very helpful. I will have a lot of fun there in the future once I really see a weight drop.
