IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE
Quote From: ritehereI 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. I understand what you are saying. But, I guess I am just different than most people. I know it is not impossible to lose, but what I have to do to do it is just extremely tiring. I've done it so much until I am just sick of it. I've lost, gained, lost, gained over and over again. I say it's time to stop this. I am who I am and thats that. I do eat the right foods and I do not eat much. I get my exercise by gardening and yard work. I still do not lose an ounce. They only way I can truely lose is to practicly starve and excersice myself to death, and even then it don't come off very well. I've even tried NOT starving and just eatting proper. NO GO. So, I 've just excepted myself like I am. I am happy and thats all that matters. I say if you are overweight and not happy then you do whatever you have to do to be happy. But, I hate to see all of you blaming yourselves for this. JUST STOP THAT! IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!! Thank you for your post...
