[Trust but Verify]

I'm living proof that losing weight is easy. You just have to have the desire to do it.

I am approaching the 100 lb. mark. It took me 18 months to lose the first 90 and a year to lose the last 10. I'd like to celebrate with a nice dinner, but that would be counterproductive. I may have to treat myself to an expensive new dress. Size 10.

BTW, My goal is to lose another 10 lbs, just for good measure.

Lucky you. I struggle and pray every day.

Good God girl EAT SOMETHING!

Now being over 300 lbs is FAT, but what you are expressing is almost a mental defect.

I'm living proof that losing weight is easy.

And Oprah Winfrey is living proof losing weight is not.

You just have to have the desire to do it.

Fine. How about keeping it off? Will you be able to say the same in six months?

Let's be honest... It is not easy to loose. I've done it too. And it took me 5 mos. to loose 60lbs and you know what, I had to exercise for about 3-4 hours A DAY, everyday. And my calories were restrictive just like Cindy Dawg's. It SEEMS easy to you now that it's all behind you, but it's not, let's be honest. I remember feeling the same way as you once I was in the routine and the weight loss was behind me. When you are looking down at still doing it though, it is not easy. When you are already so big you start panting just walking a half a block, it's not so easy. When you have to go hungry just to loose a lb or two, it's not so easy. You are coming up to maintainance honey so it's easy now to look back and say it was all so easy. Worthwhile I'm sure, but easy...no.
