For Peeps in WL Mode-Trends

After you been here a while you see "Trends"

The reality is that a lot of people never make their desired weight....... you rarely hear or see them here after a while..... sure, many have done well and just get on with life......

Many, and I mean many fall 20-50 lbs. short.... is that failure?..... No...... not by a long shot.......But, it just means they fell short of their desired expectations......

And repeatedly I have heard this one.......

"I wish I had tried harder early on when WL was easier, I would be at goal right now"

Does this mean you can never lose the weight? Hell no..... It just means what it says......

Were seeing a lot of liberal experimentation going on right now...... which is fine if you understand.... it's all you from here on out.......

So, take it for what it's worth ..... just sharing.....

Yeah yeah yeah... leave me and my constant chicken alone, dammit. *laughing*

No, I've seen some weird stuff today too. I get it. Heck, you know me, I'm liberal about food, etc as long as you've done the work to learn about yourself, your body and your needs, but there's some crazy stuff the past few days. LOL.

5 pounds to goal. Then we'll think about revising, but dammit, I'm going to see that goal! LOL

I try so hard to be as hardcore today at 9.5 months as I was at 2 weeks out from surgery.  Heck I think I am even more rigid now than I was back then knowing what they say about how things tend to slow down.  I'm lucky somehow because I haven't had a real stall nor have I slowed down much if at all AND I haven't had a single gain on a "weigh-in Monday".  I have moments where I become one of those people and the dialogue in my head tries to convince me that I am going to be one of those people that fall short of their goal but every day I just keep pushing myself to get it done and every week the weight comes off.  My first real goal was to weigh 190 pounds and I am 2.2 pounds away from that.  I am impressed with myself and how focus can really get you what you want.

I still have my eye on the prize.  I sometimes feel I am already at goal since I reached my first goal but I wanted to get 10 pounds lower for that bounce back.  5 pounds lower isn't gonna cut it for me but friggin hell & all that is holy moley, I wish I could just get in that mindset to get smaller than I am.  I bet I would love the feeling!!!!

This is why I try to stay active on this board because all you successful peeps help me stay motivated.  Like I said once before, it may take me to summer 2013 to say, "Yay!!!  I finally did it, I reached my 2nd goal"!!!  But hot damn, I will get there!!!!!  I know I will!!!

xo to you frisco!!!!

Judging by the number of people i see complaining because they just cant posibly eat enough early out - people take that kind of restriction and ambivalence towards food for granted. 

Hey, don't bust my bubble with your "trends" logic.  I got the surgery so that I never have to watch what I eat ever again.  Anyway my doctor told me I can eat mashed potatoes, gravy and jellybeans right up to goal.  I am sticking with my plan because it's really working for me, at least for the first two weeks.  This whole honeymoon thing, well that's just for you crazy diet Nazis from egocentric, results obsessed doctors who shall remain nameless. 

I feel much better now.

"LIKE" ... I mean, LOOOVE!!!!!!

Have I mentioned how much I appreciate the sarcasm of the vets on here! I nearly peed in my pants when I read your response.

Its all about the gummy bears!!!

Mmmmmm Gummy Bears!!
