[Hunble]

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.

Good God girl EAT SOMETHING!

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

but what you are expressing is almost a mental defect

I what way? I eat a very healthy diet. Lots of grains and fruits/veggies. But I also exercise DAILY. It has become a way of life.

I truly believe, though, that a person who is obese (I was) really, really has to want to change their life in order to 'sacrifice' their eating pleasures.

But it HAS changed my life. I was a size 24! I had to shop in the plus sizes, which held very little in 'style' for a 40 year-old woman. Now I can sometimes wear a size small. Very powerful incentive for me.
