Maybe I don’t WANT to be Thin!!
I only have a few minutes, so I’ll have to make this speedy. I have a theory. I think it scares me to be thin and that is why I’m fat. Let’s face it. It isn’t that hard to eat right and exercise. I’ve gotten very close to being under 200 lbs and then I got scared and quit exercising and eating right. Why? I think it scares me to be a skinny person, and if I can get under 200 lbs, there will be no stopping me from hitting my goal. Then what? No one expects a fat chick to look cute and adorable, worry about clothes (they all look like tents anyway). I haven’t been thin since before I had kids 15 yrs ago. That is a long time of avoidance. I don’t know any different anymore. I won’t have any excuses if I don’t have the fat excuse anymore. End of thought. Back to work.

Hey girl, I have the opposite theory. I’ve heard where people have said they are scared to be thin but I’ve never quite understood that but if that’s what people feel, I can respect that. But for me, I think it is darn hard to eat right and it is darn hard to exercise. It’s hard to make a healthy dinner and easier to make something quick and greasy. It is hard to put in the time and effort to exercise and it’s easy to just sit and relax. Maybe rethink your reasons for losing weight. If losing weight makes you scared that there is this pressure to look cute then maybe just think of the health reasons for losing weight. I lost some weight and the clothes looked better on me but really the biggest gift was what I did for my body by taking off the extra weight. Don’t think of it for the looks but think of it strictly for the health. Losing weight is a hard job but you can tackle it girl.
I totally agree with you…everytime i begin getting thin and start getting attention…then i start eating the wrong way again
I suppose that everyone is different. I know for me, if I could eat whatever I wanted and worked out, I’d be in heaven. LOL
The working out isn’t really the hard part for me. Although, when I don’t eat right I don’t seem to workout as much. Anyway, the hard part for me is to eat right. I think it is more of a comfort thing than being scared of being thin maybe. We get to a certain point and we start to feel comfortable with where we are so we slow down and then start going backwards again.
At any rate, I know that we all want to be healthy and look and feel good. You will get there. Have a great weekend.
I agree about thinking of it in the health aspect. I personally want to look better, but my main goal is for health. I have older brothers and sisters who have many health problems and most of the health issues are because of the extra weight. I don’t want that. I want to be around for a long time and enjoy my family!
You can do it!

I know I myself used to hide behind my fat. But I think as you make this journey, you find a whole new person just waiting to come and LIVE! You deserve to let your light shine. You want to be healthy and you can.
I find it hard to do what I have to all the time. What I hated when I did get thinner was all the attention from men. I felt like an object more than a person. I understand your fear. But deep inside I realize that I have to get over that cause there are children in my life that deserve a healthy mother to be there for them.
