Not exactly. I'm tired of being defeated. It's not my personality. I don't expect life to give me anything I don't earn and I don't expect things to come easy. A few years ago I tried to start blogging to hold me accountable for weight loss, no one cared, things happened. and I quit posting. In three years I've gained a hundred pounds and am about fed up with the way I'm living, but accountability is crucial for a person like me. Just ask people, I live to toot my own horn and get a pat on the back (which is pretty much everyone else in the world to some degree).

Anyway, this isn't about them, it's about me. I started a page on facebook if anyone wants to go along with me on my travels and want to give me some support and encouragement. If not, no hard feelings.

Here's one of the first posts:

Sometimes I forget who and what I am. You would think it was impossible, but with so much noise from the outside sometimes it drowns out that inner voice that is true. The one thing that I am not, is a survivor. I hate that term. A survivor is a person who hangs on when disaster hits and hopes to be saved or rescued. That is not what I do. I am an over-comer. I stand tall against the storm and when the gale attempts to drive me back, I take yet another step forward. It might not be quick, it might not be pretty, but it is progress.

I'm tired of listening to those who say I can't, tired of those who revel when life attempts to push me down, tired of those who say they are my friend yet treat me worse than an enemy. Let me make this declaration loud and clear: "I will come out on top, I will succeed, I will flourish, and there isn't one fool hardy thing you can do to stop me."

So here is your chance, enjoy the ride or get off now, because things are about to get interesting.

Hey, I know how you feel. I

Hey, I know how you feel. I went from ~140 to 271 and then had to get to 187 for surgery. I made it but it took two years of work. Eating less and exercise seemed to be the two big helps in this, especially the exercise. Good luck. I know you can do it.

We are the change that will save the world.

You CAN do it!

It's easy to hide behind the anonymity of the internet and put someone down and tease them. And why do they do it? It gives them little joy in their thing they call a life, much like the internet trolls that put down various writers that post here and other sites. I do care about things that I care about and try to support those causes. My attitude is if I know what i'm talking about I can say something, and, if I don't know what I'm talking about then Keep MY big mouth shut. I believe you can lose those extra pounds and do whatever you want to in your life. Take care and enjoy the ride your on called life! HUGS!

Idea that helped me....

I walk a lot in my job, so I got some ankle weights. The other thing was weighted gloves and shadow boxing. I was 375, now I'm 350.
I knows its easier said than done, but I stopped drinking diet soda and now drink dasani water, and Seagram's gingerale. Diet soda açtually sabotages weight loss.
Anyways...I'm rooting for you.
