Re: I fell like I am destined to stay this weight forever

Sarah, go back to last years posts and read the struggle that 2big had just before she made goal. I think its a right of passage if you know what I mean.
I think you need to add some yoga now as stress will make losing weight even harder.
You are our heroine here, and lots of us look at your weight loss for inspiration so don't give up now.
LOL No Pressure

Re: I fell like I am destined to stay this weight forever

Hey there sarah
What rung are you doing now?? What's your menu like?
Do you think you may be ready for a leptin re-feed? Have you ever done one? It's pretty darn brutal (if you've been off sugar as long as we have)
I only recommend it in extreme cases. You have thyroid issues don't you?
If you are still chatting with DeEtte, search her re-feeds. They're helpful especially for the amount of body work you do. leptin is a hormone........good luck honey

Have you cut back on the fat and added more low gi fruits?

Re: I fell like I am destined to stay this weight forever

I agree with Betty ...girl breath and look at how far you have come ..then average it out with your loss your body needs time to adjust ...I mean MY GOD GIRL take a look at the pictures of yourself ..you have lost what I weigh!!!! .....

life is all about the journey so start enjoying it ..because it goes by fast!!!

Re: I fell like I am destined to stay this weight forever

Sarah,

I joined this board about a month ago and most of my friends have already heard me talk about you!

When I did a walk-jog the other week, I just pretended I was you, running the marathon. Because of some injuries in the past, jogging is not easy for me...

**iyamamaschke** · July 5, 2006, 08:26 PM

Re: I fell like I am destined to stay this weight forever

Re: I fell like I am destined to stay this weight forever

Hey Sarah.

I know that you want to make your goal, and totally support anyone in that. Can I turn this on it's ear, play devils advocate for a minute?

What happens if you DO stay this weight forever? LOOK at you! Put that very first picture you took in the doorway back up, next to these current ones. Get out the old jeans and see how many times you would fit in them now. How much are you pressing these days? What is your one rep max for squats? For pity's sake! YOU can run a marathon. Your kids can hug you and feel your heart beat under their cheek. You can chase them and play tag and wrestle on the floor and climb the monkey bars. Your love'o'life can get his arms around you. You can wear jeans from the "normal" sizes from any store you want to walk in to! You sparkle, you glow, you are a role model and truly enjoying life, without having to stop to rest! Could that other woman, that woman you were before say any of those things?

I admire you, adore your posts, and do not in any way intend to disrespect your desire to hit goal. I know you can do it. But enjoy, appreciate and respect where you are now, how far you have come, while you are working on moving past it. I would hate to see you miss out on enjoying where you are now, because you are in such a hurry to get somewhere else, if that makes sense.

Chin up girlie. You, of all people, can do anything.

hugs.. k
