Even my fat clothes are tight on me.    (Translation for men:  Fat Clothes = largest size clothes a woman owns)  I weighed myself this morning and decided that I can't eat again until next month.

Anyone in the same boat as me?  Careful or we'll sink it!    Anyone interested in doing that online weight loss support thing that some members were doing a few months ago?

Pam, I can sympathize. I haven't been to the gym in ages and I love food. I finally got on the scale a couple days ago. I gained ten pounds. For me, that's alot. It stinks. i don't know that I could stick to an online program. No willpower. One thing that helps me is NO fat clothes. If my pants get tight I have NO choice but to cut back.

Awww, that dreaded moment where even the fat clothes are tightI hate that!!!!  I know how ya feel, though, I'm kinda in the same boat, and was planning on starting a healthier eating, exercise program this week

I FINALLY got my parents to cut sodas out of there diet a few years back. They both lost an incredible amount of weight right off the bat just from that!

I need to move to a country where the men admire and appreciate a big woman.  Where fat = successful.  Not that hubby says anything at all about my weight!  He's learned a few things over the last 25 years with me. 

I can TOTALLY relate, Pam! I lost over 70 pounds a few years ago on Weight Watchers - and I've probably gained that back, plus some over the past 6-9 months. The stress from work (which is no longer an issue, thank god!) and Sasha's illness and subsequent death really hit me hard, so to comfort myself, I stuffed my face. I feel disgusting. All that hard work for nothing. It's the story of my life! Lose 30, gain back 45. Lose 50, gain back 60. I just have to get my motivation back up to do it again. My fat clothes are also tight and it sickens me!!

Have you ever had Diet Dr. Pepper?  My husband and I love it (we call it liquid crack).  We also like Diet Mtn Dew.  I think that is a great first step!  I got my husband to switch to diet a few years back and he lost like 8 pounds just from that...Men...

I had been gaining like crazy and just made some changes.  For sweets I went to pudding, low in fat and calories yet really yummy. Instead of chips do popcorn. I drink a lot of water at work and I don't like to work out at all so I have been parking farther and taking the stairs. Just little things but they are working. 

I wish fat was attractive too, I would be HOT!!

I there, too. I get so darned bored at work that I snack. But I've cut out most sweets.  I don't drink soda so can't cut that out.  I do drink juice but I poor a glass of just 1/4 juice and then fill it with water...cuts down on calories and gets more water in me....it's hard for me to drink water. 

For a sweet treat - I love that Activia yogurt.  Plus having 6 dogs keeps me so busy and walking more.

Alright, here's MY thing. I look at fluffy, plump, rubenesque, curvy, whatever you want to call them women and I think, "Wow she's beautiful." But the teeniest bit of pudge on me and I feel like I am so hideaous I shouldn't leave the house. WTH. Why is that?! I KNOW that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, skin deep, comes in all sizes, yada, yada. How come I can't apply that theory to myself?

OK, so, when you figure it out, let me know!!  I am the same way!

Maybe it's the in between that's rough. When we aren't "skinny" but we aren't, dare I say "fat" either. IDK.

Pam - Count me in with ya

My fat clothes were tight so I bought more fat clothes (read: yes another size bigger) and I just cannot continue...  My doctor said I needed to lose 50 lbs.  I have lost 23 but I really could use some online support too.

I have lost 23 since April 26 when I joined Wight Watchers.

I was at work yesterday and was lighting a cigerette for a resident and another resident looked at me and infront of everyone and out of nowhere said you know Gail you could stand to loose some weight you would feel better about yourself and then she turned and told another resident that she needed to loose ten pounds and one of my other patients looked up and said that's okay Gail I need to loose some weight too.  I was mortified.  But I just went on with what I was doing.  I do want to loose a bit but to say that infront of a whole group of people is just rude.  And for the fact that she is alert and oriented it was uncalled for.  Two other aides were out there and their draws dropped when she said this to me.  So I feel your pain but you know what I do try but I am not going to make myself miserable worrying about it.
