Can't Lose Those Last Five Pounds?

Quote From: uncltodd

It is a shame that you are so hung up on the last five pounds.  I am 448 now I stated at 660 and I am recovering from the gastric bi-pass and it is nice to know I will be thinner.  AFter having my life almost cut short and my abilities being so limited I am grateful for the oppertunity to walk and not look like I am having a heartattack.  To be able to go to my daughters room and wake her or to put her to bed.  Learn to have fun dont worrry about it make your self alittle happier and the stress will disappear and you will be more apt to loose the last five pounds.  Life is to short to be so distracted by 5 pounds.  Maybe I am not what you want to hear but I am glad to be alive and wish I only had five pounds to worry about.  Look around you and find someone whos is worse off than   you and appreciate the fact you are so close to y our goal.
I wish you the all the best with your goals for your weight loss. You never know how much to appreciate something until you almost lose it. I hope you regain even more mobility and health that is sure to come in your future. God Bless you for being an inspiration to many and putting things into perspective for many people.

Can't Lose Those Last Five Pounds?

Quote From: kelseym127

I'm extremely obese and I can't seem to lose any weight. I'm a girl and I weight 119 pounds. I've been trying to lose weight for a few months, and I can't get anywhere below 119. No matter how much I try, nothing ever changes.

I'm not sure of your situation but I want to tell you that I'm concerned about your obsession with being 119 lbs. Please, reach out for help because I'm concerned you may have a problem. A friend of mine is recovering from anerexia and you sound very much like her - she becomes very upset at being just over 100 lbs. Please get help because I think you may be in a serious situation. While being thin is a blessing, being healthy is far more important. Lets face it - if you are extremely obese at 119 lbs, I'm crushingly, horrible, agonizingly obese at 153 lbs. Focus on your heath and reach out for help if you need it.

What do you guys think?

I've been in this long distance relationship for 2 and a half years now. We live 2 and a half hours away from each other and see each other every other weekend, but we talk every day. He's a really good guy and we have a lot in common and have huge fun when we're together. I'm ready to go to the next step - engagement. I would be willing to move out to where he lives because right now we both live with our parents but he's in the process of buying 160 acres of land out where he is so it just seems natural for us to settle there. I've told him that I would help him build a house on the land once we're married but I'm cool with living in a trailer on the property in the mean time. But he still says he's not ready and he says its because he wants to build a house and have somewhere for us to live first. I understand the wanting somewhere for us to live thing but I wonder if thats really the problem or if its because he doesn't want to marry me. What do you guys think?

Ready for Marriage?

Quote From: ead159

I have been with my boyfriend for a year and a half now.  We live together and get along great and love each other.  Lately we have been talking about getting engaged.  I would love to be engaged, but i have these weird feelings.  Some times i feel like i want to be single again, but then i think about it and think if i break up with him i really may not find someone that is as good as him.  He treats me very well, and loves me and would do anything for me.  I don't know if that makes me seem like I'm scared to be alone and if i break up with him then i might not find someone else.  I don't know what it is.  We have not talked about this, and i don't think it would be a good topic for us to talk about.  We recently got into a fight about the same one stupid thing that we fight about and i told him i was done with it because I'm sick of fighting over the same thing, and I'm done.  I told him if we fight about it once more I'm done with it all because its too hard emotionally on me.  When i said that he broke down and he didn't want that to happen, and at that moment i felt like i did love him and he is the one i want to be with.  But then a couple of days later i start to feel like sometimes i want to be single again.  I know i love him and when i think about it i couldn't find anyone better for me and i don't want to loose him.  But i just get these urges to go out and party like I'm single and see other people, but i would never want to loose him.  I am sooo confused.  Are these feelings at all normal?  Does everyone want to be single again at some point in their relationship,  or do i really not love him like i think i do?  PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I think what you are feeling is completely normal and you are completely entitled to your feelings. YOu need to list the pros and cons of both and then make an informed decision. But I feel the same way in my relationship and I don't think it has any bearing on my love for him. I still love him but forever is a long time and a decision that should only be made after careful consideration.
