I know this is a little late but I want you to know that I have been thinking about you alot since this post and I just wanted to say that I think you are STILL doing a fabulous job. You are trying. You did not give up.. You are not going to give up. You are still living a healthy lifestyle. You are exercising…You are aware of what you put in your mouth…you have not given up totally like I know I have so many times. I really look up to you and I think that you will get to your goal because from reading your blog I know that you are a strong and determined woman! In my eyes I consider you to be maintaining what you have already achieved which is still considered success to me. I wish you much luck in continuing to finish! I am here cheering you on…..from the sidelines…..fat and pregnant!

We’ve all been there, Marisa. You are definitely not alone. Try to remember the BIG picture in what you have done for your health, and all the progress you have made. A few tiny steps in the wrong direction are no big deal. You are writing your own story and these little set-backs can be part of a really good one, because you’re about to turn it around again, and everyone loves that part!

All jokes aside, sometimes you gotta get mad and pissed at the thigh fat and hate it real bad. Not to be confused with hating yourself.

Regardless of how much you weigh right now or this blobbly thing you speak of, YOU have inspired me. And even more-so now since I can further relate to someone with the same struggles as I.

((hugs)) indeed!

I have a feeling most of us can relate to your post, Marisa. I have also been “almost at goal” (within 15 pounds) for two years now. And I have had moments where I thought “I binged today or I’m not at goal yet, why should anyone listen to me?” too. In the long run, none of that matters. You are successful and you shared yourself and what you learned. You can, and will, get there (so will I!). I’m glad you vented. Get it out. Address the problem and move on. Figure out your strategy (counting or something else) and do it. xo

Marisa, sorry I didn’t comment yesterday. So busy never checked the blogs. But as soon as I read it this morning, I had to stop everything to send this note to you!!!!

We’ve all been there. We all have our good and bad days. I personally think you should give yourself a break. You’ve been feeling so good about what you ARE doing. Look at all the exercise you’ve been getting. Think of where you would be if you WEREN’T doing all the running and other activities you do on a daily basis!!! The food thing is going to come and go. You’ll get past this. I know you can!

Don’t give up. Hang in there. Stick with us. We’re all in the same boat and it IS NOT SINKING!!!! We’re floating and sailing, just that the wind isn’t always under our sails. Sometimes we’re just hanging out enjoying the sunrise.

Your are a great motivator and have come a long way. So give yourself a pat on the back and keep going.

Marisa,
Don’t apologize for a downer post. Any of us who have battled with our weight could have written this post – me included. It’s such a balance once you get closer to your goal or at your goal to 1) figure out where exactly you want to be, and 2) to avoid sliding back.

You will be able to figure out what will work for you. Look how far you’ve come. You can totally do this and stay at the weight you feel comfortable with.

Take care and I bet today will be a better day!

Marissa: {{HUGS}}! It seems that weight loss can be easy but the hard part is maintenance. I’m scared about maintenance because it is the hardest part. You are worth it to take better care of your self, eat healthier, and be happy. I find your story inspirational and you are human – we all are! I know that you can kick fat’s a@@ for good!!
