Trying Again....and again...

[Janet]

I wouldn't have guessed that about Betsi either. Wish I looked that small at this weight. I just want this weight off. I've already wrote out an exercise plan for when school is out. It's just hard for me when school is in session. I love showers, but by the time I do everything, I'm taking 2-3 showers a day....that's way too much.

Lol! Y'all made my day! Why do you think I just post face pictures, lol? I'm heavier than I've been in a long time right now, but I'm working on it. I'm 5'8, and let me tell you I can carry some pounds Here is a pic so you can see me. We are in front of the Arch de Triumphe, built by Napoleon. We had just walked up a million stairs, lol!

[Janet]

Youre beautiful, still don't look like you are over 200 lbs. it's a great picture of you both.

[judy]

Betsi, you carry yourself well! You sure don't look like 200 pounds! It is so good to be tall! You are really a beautiful woman!

Keep it going Janet! You are doing great!


Diana, maybe you should read the book again. Diabetes is so hard!

I have been ping ponging about 4 pounds lately. I decided that I am going on a more satisfying diet. I have a 100 calorie bagel and a piece of fruit for lunch, and maybe another piece of fruit during the day. I have been eating candy, candy and more candy! I think I'm carb starved! I think I only want to lose about 5 pounds, but maintaining it is so hard! I am very small, so it really shows in my stomach. (5'1" on a good day).

I'm right there with you Judy on being short. I'm 5'2" on a good day. I feel your pain, 5 lbs is a jeans size for me.

The ONLY good thing about all this with Gary is that I can't eat when I am upset, so I have lost 6 lbs in the last 2 weeks. I have to force myself to eat and I can eat very little at a time. It feels like there's a big lump in my throat all the time and my stomach feels upset. I feel like I could throw up and it's hard to swallow food. There is a silver lining though, I can eat whatever I want because I can only eat a few bites of it. I'm trying to eat healthy though, I can't get sick from lack of nutrition.

Oh Gayle, that's such a sad way to lose weight I eat everything in sight when I'm stressed, which is what happened after my kids left. I know I do this, but I can't seem to control it.

BTW.. I weigh wayyy over 200. I can't believe I just put that in writing

[DianaB]

I know how you feel, Betsi. I don't like to talk or write what my weight is either.

Betsi, I started to write this yesterday and ended up losing it......but I think you're very beautiful and you don't look too heavy. I'm sure having the extra inches in height helps a lot.......if I could just grow 4 more inches maybe I'd look a lot better too!!! I'm 5' 4"......way too short for my weight.......maybe if I were 6'4"!!!! Of course then I'd have trouble finding clothes to fit!!! But I'd look skinny!!!
