I guess we all can. Although I would not say that I hate fat people.
I hate being fat and I don't believe anyone who says that they're fat and happy.

As for waiting for a sign....I can understand that for some people.
I think everyone has to hit their own low before they get finally do something.
I know I did. I remember one night back in 06 when I rolled over in bed and it was like a struggle just to turn. I laid there crying to myself. Shortly after I made a list of the 10 things I hated about being fat. Some were really personal.
Right now I'm back in the struggle and it's way harder than it was back then but I am going in the right direction. I still need to lose about 35 pounds.

There's a lady at my job who was close to getting surgery to lose weight but instead she got on a diet plan and has lost 75 pounds so far.
She's an inspiration to me just as I once was to here. Her focus reminds me of that eye of the tiger that I once had but am getting back.
Keep going man and keep venting.
You are one of my inspirations as are you Paige.

Yeah, I had weight loss surgery.....and a lot of people think that's the "easy" way out....but look at how many people that have WLS gain it back....I don't...no, I WON'T be one of those statistics. I fight with 10-15 pounds all of the time...but that's a hell of a lot better than fighting with 110-115.
You'll get there, Michael. You know what to do, you know why to do it and you know that you're worth it.

Yeah, I hated saying I hate fat people it's the mentality. Either I'm happy or I'll ignore, me being the latter. And I don't hate on people that get the surgery.

Two examples one woman got the most extreme surgery and she didn't need to lose a lot of weight and now she can't drink anything with carbonation, alcohol and can barely eat anything and people tell me she looks worse than she did the before. The other, she was constantly eating and drinking and she did not look well either.

If you get the surgery and do what the doctor tells you then, rock on. It's the easy way out mentality and you don't do anything in support of it that bothers me.

Until I went to the doctor I ignored every sign thrown in front of me. I know everyone has to come to it when the want to, I just want people to know this is your sign, me and all of you.

Thanks for all the great words, when I tend to get on one of these rants I say stuff that I usually like to keep to myself. I never want intend to offend anyone, I just start typing and hit send.

Keep on rockin' it!!!! I know you can do it sonofabeach!!!!!!

There are a lot of things I can't eat or drink....it's a trade off.

OMG Jack! That's the diet I try to live by. Of course I do wander off it every now and again, but when I'm a good girl, this is the diet that works for me. Good Luck, not that you really need it. You look great.

It tracks steps, distance, calories, but they have website with an active forum and an even more active facebook page.

I did a great run this morning my best 10K yet. After my run I jumped in the pool with it in my pocket, left it out in the sun for most of the day and it was alright. I didn't have it in the water for long, you may check it out.

Hey!

I can do the DASH diet, too. I like beans, lean meats, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
