Quit what, you ask? This whole weight loss thing.
So, you stand back, take a good look at me, and say, “Oh no, honey. Not quite yet.”
Okay, so you don’t really do that, because you’re way too polite. (Most of you, anyway.) But the truth is that I know I can’t quit yet. I’m still only halfway to where I need to be to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
And, more frustrating yet, I know that I will never be able to quit. I will never be okay with food. It will never be a non-issue for me. It will never be easy. It will never be something that I can totally relax about, not if I want to stay healthy. And that is harder to accept and own than the rest of the weight I still have to lose.
And so, after about a week totally off of the exercising and calorie counting, tomorrow I will start over again. And I will be successful. You can count on it. But until then, I’m going to go enjoy one last s’more.
I feel your pain! If it makes you feel better I am right there with you! : ) That should make you feel some what better to have a friend you do the whole weight loss thing with.
I have finally come to grips with DO NOT compare yourself to your husband and his weightloss. I know I know it makes us sick how quickly they lose it. Stick with it GIRL we will make it together! : )
Love ya!

Thanks Annie! You are one of my biggest cheerleaders.
It is a ton better going through this with you. I’m afraid I probably would have quit by now!!! And let’s not talk about the skinny boys…. 
Wish you were closer, I’d join your “group.” I, too, have a man who really can’t relate (though he tries) with this struggle. You’ve inspired me to get back on track. Thanks!
I wish you were here, too! We need all the support we can get. I’ll try to stay recent on this topic so we can all lift each other up.
I once told my uber-skinny husband (who’s always getting flak for being too much so) – “I feel so fat today.”
His response?
“I feel so skinny today.”
Ooooook. Thanks for your empathy, honey.
Hsien: I don’t think I’d handle it that well if my bean-pole hubby did the same. Did you at least knock his skinny butt to the floor?
