I lost about 35 lbs over the course of a year - it was gradual, but I have kept the weight off. :)Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424251792068650186.post-56037267731497053072010-11-16T10:12:44.273-05:002010-11-16T10:12:44.273-05:00There's so much of this that I can relate to t...There's so much of this that I can relate to that I just want to jump through the screen and have a conversation about this with you face-to-face. I've always been a little overweight, but I gained about 10 lbs during my student teaching semester (which was a total disaster and one of the worst periods of my life) and another 10 the next semester, during the ensuing emotional aftermath. <br /><br />Mentally, I'm where you're at, as well -- I think. I know it's not too late to turn it around so that I don't end up obese at age 30. And I'm starting to realize that, like you said, there's a tiny part of me that doesn't believe I was ever meant to be slim and fit, that "fat" is part of my identity. <br /><br />I could go on and on, but this comment is already turning into its own blog post. I just wanted to say thanks for writing this post.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01088528123828569845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424251792068650186.post-20850660096946052022010-11-16T07:45:35.532-05:002010-11-16T07:45:35.532-05:00I'm so glad that you're seeing this now!

I think your head is definitely in the right place, and we're always here to hold you accountable and to encourage you if you slip-up! It's not easy being healthy (I'm STILL trying ... because I've gained 10 lbs since I got married in 2008, and while I'm fine with my weight, I still feel unhealthy.) <br /><br />I'm definitely excited about this part of your blog. :DMeganhttp://somewhatvoluble.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424251792068650186.post-43289388183998542942010-11-15T21:29:57.962-05:002010-11-15T21:29:57.962-05:00I've been wanting to eat healthier, too, and w...I've been wanting to eat healthier, too, and while some people will say I don't need it because I'm petite, I know I do. It's not just about being skinny and staying skinny, it's about being healthy, and just because I'm tiny doesn't mean I'm necessarily healthy, because I can tell you right now I do NOT eat well at all. Waaay too much junk goes into my stomach. And while people say they'd love to be able to eat whatever they want like I can and not worry about weight, they don't understand that by eating the wrong foods, I'm still wearing myself out. I always feel so crummy, tired, and bloated. I haven't had energy since I was in high school, which was also the last time I did any real physical exercise. So, no, I CAN'T eat whatever I want, and I'm glad you can see that being healthy isn't just about being skinny. It's about feeling good, having energy, not feeling so drained, and being happy with yourself for once. I wish you lots of luck and am here for support along your journey!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424251792068650186.post-35176487459957833472010-11-15T17:30:13.758-05:002010-11-15T17:30:13.758-05:00You can do it!

You will become more confident, not because you are skinnier, but because you will realize how powerful you are!<br /><br />I have been struggling with the same thing for years and have not gotten anywhere.
