Sometimes losing weight is VERY difficult.
Quote From: kissymouthLook, I'm am not trying to bring anyone down. I feel I have a right to say what I feel also. I am not being rude or using bad language. All I'm saying is that it's dishearting to see so many people blaming themselves for being overweight. Just because my views are different than most on here doesn't mean I'm what you say I am. You couldn't be more wrong. I am not saying no one should try. I am just telling my experience is all. I am not depressed either. I am 50 and have been through alot myself with my weight. I am very sorry if I offended anyone here, that was not my intentions. I am only going by MY experience. It would seem just because mine are different than yours that I'm not welcomed here. When in fact mine are really not so different. Also, and yes I have been told that it is mostly genics, and it depends on who you listen to what you believe. Some say it is, some say it's %50 genics some say it is not at all. Thats my point, no one really knows. I haven't said anything mean on here either. Last I heard this is a free country and people can speak their minds. I am expressing that right. I am not being ugly about it. Maybe you are bitter and thats why you read something into my post that wasn't there. I am not bitter anymore, I use to be, but I've come to learn that it's not worth it. I will not beat myself up over this anymore is all. I am happy and for the most part healthy. I have a wonderful husband and family life. I have been checked out by doctors, they have no answers either. Except that maybe the reasnon why I can no longer able lose weight is because I've done it so much back and forth through my life that I've ruined myself by trying and retrying, gaining and relosing. Thats why I'm hear, maybe someone will here me out there and not judge me for what I have experienced. Thanks for listening again. SORRY if I made people mad, that was not my intentions. I understand what your saying, Kissy. I'm 48 years old and it gets more difficult with age. When I was younger, all I had to do was either cut back on eating or exercise to lose flab. Now, I have to stick to strict eating programs AND exercise daily. It's not impossible though.
I concentrate on what I want to accomplish with my body, not what dress size I'd like to be. My husband and I climbed a 14,000 ft. mountain this summer, so I have been concentrating on building muscle, not losing weight. Now that we've accomplished our goal, I'm back to getting my waistline back because my pants are tight.
Make no mistake about it though, it's work. It's all worth it though.
