Gail,

I think that is very good advice, thank you.  

I am a very loving and gentle person with most everyone else, but defintely have a hard time not beating up on myself.  It is very true what you said, and kind of helps put it in perspective for me. 

Thanks for the reminder.  Take care-

Beanie,

Thanks so much for the reply.  I really appreciate all of the support and advice.  Congratulations on losing the 50lbs!  That is awesome!  You must really be working hard to lose all of that in less than 6 months.  That's inspiring!

I have been trying to drink a lot of water, but it sounds like I really need to kick it up a notch.  Does your body ever get used to that much water, or do you pretty much spend the day in the bathroom? 

I do notice that when I exercise I crave veggies and protein much more than sweet or salties.  I think my hardest thing is not snacking at night.  I like to eat a good dinner and then an hour or two later I start feeling snacky, and that is where I get into trouble.  I am trying to work on that. 

Anyway, I better run, but thanks again for the reply.

sasianu,

Thanks for the encouraging message. :-) That is pretty incredible that you lost 14 lbs in a month without exercise.

This looks to be a great forum, and I'm excited to get to know everyone. 

Thanks again for taking the time to drop me a line.  Good luck with your new venture.

Hello everyone,

I just joined CC today, and am really hopeful that this will help me make the changes that I need.  I want to lose about 120 lbs and basically feel like this is next to impossible.  I have been heavy all of my life, but finally feel that I've hit rock bottom.  I feel terribly alone and discouraged with where I am at.

I constantly feel like I am disappointing the people I love because I am overweight.  I feel like I want to be thin more than I want anything, yet I am so frustrated with myself becuase I can't seem to push myself enough to even come close to obtaining that goal. 

I guess I am reaching out in the hopes that I can find other people like me, so that we can support and motivate each enough to reach our goals.   

I have started going back to the gym and am attempting to eat healthier and count calories.  I think that once I start to lose some weight, I will be much more positive and motivated to keep going.  I'm just having a really tough time believing that I can actually accomplish such a huge goal. 

Thanks for letting me vent.
