~~I couldn't hardly find, my Monday morning shoes. Monday morning blues... Monday morning blues~~ Good morning everyone! I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend. I had a great Saturday and a horrible Sunday, so I guess the weekend boils down to just okay...oh well, theres always next week. I will say that the NSV this weekend was totally amazing. I play 18 holes of miniature golf without struggling. Just a year ago I would have had to sit down, I would have been in pain and out of breath. Its AMAZING what just losing a little weight can do. I know that 80lbs isnt a little, but in the scheme of how much I have to lose, its not very much. I am just amazed at how much my body has changed and how much more I can do now!! There are still days that I am embarrassed because I am so big, I dont always want to go into stores or restaurants because of people staring, but I know that I am doing what is best for me and I am getting better! Its so freeing being able to walk through a store without sweating and struggling to breathe!! I almost bought a pint of ice cream on Sunday. Had a horrible day, ended up in the Walgreens parking lot and all I wanted was a package of cookies and some ice cream. I even went as far as to go into the store, look at the carbs in the ice cream and cookies. I knew that once I did it, I wouldnt stop and I put it back...it was hard because my heart was telling me that it would make me feel better, that things would be okay if I did it...that Ben and Jerry understood me and would get me through. My brain said "Remember the golf, remember playing with Garrett, you cant do things like that at 500lbs...choose wisely" and I put them back. It hurt, emotionally, I was drained, but I put it back. Today I will pray for myself, I will pray for my hurts and my struggles. I will pray that the Lord touches my heart and my family. I will pray for endurance to keep pressing forward. I will pray for strength to get through another day and I will pray for peace to guide me home. I will pray that each and every one of us takes a step forward in our journey and leave one more bad habit behind. I will pray we have the opportunity to laugh, to smile, and to have a good day. In the sweet name of Jesus, Amen!! I am posting a picture that was posted to a Keto group that I am part of on Facebook and was really insightful to me. Everyone is different, every body needs different things. CICO is great for some, Keto is great for some, WFPB is great for some...DO NOT TEAR EACH OTHER DOWN because you do not participate in the WOE that they do. We are here to cheer each other on, help each other up, give encouragement. Not rip each other apart. Be kind. Be gentle. Be patient. You never know the path the other person is facing.

I am so proud of you. I am around the weight you were when you started and i started almost ninety pounds heavier than that. I know intimately how difficult it was for you to walk away from those foods without rationalizing or "compromising". That was a huge thing really. I hope you are proud of yourself, too. I've prayed for you today.

Thank you, @Cjody, it was hard!! I started in January at just over 500 and by the time I found this site I was down to 498. I am actually so proud of myself, because the 500lb girl in me was saying that it wouldnt hurt, that it would make me feel better. I had to face that demon again, and this time I won! I was so proud. Thank you for the prayer, honestly, I need it today more than I have in a long time. @Abba, yes!! Garrett deserves me WAY more than Ben and Jerry!! Thank you for your support!! @Anne, I know you are a big purveyor of CICO isnt always the answer for everyone, so I figured you might like that!! Have a great day!

You have a wonderful day too. We’re all here for each other. Watch your sugar and simple carbs. You should be very proud of yourself. Every single DOWNWARD movement, no matter how small, of the scale is a good thing!✊🏽☀️

NSV's are the best. You should be proud of all you accomplished this weekend. You are a huge inspiration to me. I see the way you push ahead. I see you struggle and pick yourself up. You always seem to find the right path. I hope you have a great week and keep kicking Ben ad Jerry to the curb.

Wow! What an inspiration. I've been off track and off FS for a while and decided this morning that I needed to get back with it again! Your post was the first thing I read when I signed back in. I really needed to hear every word you said. I'm so proud of you for your accomplishment with weight loss, your will-power yesterday, and for your willingness to share such a vulnerable moment. God bless you!

Inspired to pray for you today by your post, and just this morning I was thanking God for all the kind people, and to help the rest of us be more kind! It's good that you can see past the deception of food to what is real and important. You had some victory this weekend, let me encourage you to build on it, you are doing great!

I stand with you in prayer too. You are doing great and that inner struggle not to give in is difficult, but you won! Each little battle is a victory of it's own. I too have noticed that joy of walking across the parking lot to my car without breaking a sweat and losing my breath. I rejoice with you in your successes!

I am so impressed that you "put it back" - you're ding so well and will get where you intend to go!

Klynn82, I join you in all your prayers. I know the lure of "single-serving" pints of B&J and bags of cookies, in fact, my go-to anesthesias of choice. (I remember the day in 2002: I was in the pit of despair and a dark depression, at my heaviest, sobbing uncontrollably -- and calming myself immediately with a pint of ice cream in front of the TV, alone. "Holy sh*t! I'm literally 'stuffing my feelings'!") I also know the sense of accomplishment of walking out of the supermarket, having made the *decision* to walk away. Keep your eye on your goals, and know that you don't have to get there "tomorrow." We're here for you!

We are all individual and we process things differently - emotionally, physically and spiritually. I truly appreciate your post and your successes. I wish you all the best on your adventure.

Thank you for sharing your present with us, here at fatsecret. I know, it's horrible to be very fat in so many ways, especially, to carry around all that around thin beautiful people. You feel heavy, I even feel soooo odd, when I am a normal girl just like you. That loves sports, dancing, socializing and love. But we got fat because we didn't understand that moderation and portion control are the name of the game. And sayingNO, NO and walking away from certain foods. Foods that are yummy, affordable and easy. Foods that relax and make us calm happy even strong. Because dieting sometimes strains the soul, makes us feel imaginarily ill and sick. I am dieting but I am not exercising at all. I know I am just starting, 2 weeks, but I put hot weather and menopause as excuses, and even though I feel ill mentally I should push thru that. Thank you again for sharing struggles and yes any diet is a diet and they are all difficult and easy depending on the day. Thanks for. Making me understand that. Take care, I will also and let's succeed, we can't allow junk foods to rule out lives. 💞💞👍

You are doing awesome! I always love it tho, when others offer up unwanted criticism and proceed to tell me what I'm doing or worse, doing wrong. This is your journey, your life, your heartache, and you are the only one at the wheel. I'm proud to be able to say you're doing a good job, even when you're feeling down, you've come a long way, and don't forget it! Nothing but clear skies ahead.
