I want to CRY!!!!!!!!!!

[r3ngels]

I just talk to my Mom and she told me my DSil lost 13 lbs.... she is already a string bean and can wear a bikini... picture Barbie with dark hair with the nicest personality to go with it.

I have been trying to lose weight but no such luck... I am completely at a plateau.

I don't have much to lose but I am always bigger than her. We are going to WDW and Vero together at the end of this month. I hate sitting next to her in a suit....

WAAAAAAAAAAA I want to cry

I just gotta tell you this. There is all ways going to be someone thinner, prettier, smarter than you. You have to feel good in your own skin and be happy with yourself. You don't say how much you weigh or what your goal is, but be proud of yourself.

When I weighed my heaviest at 240 I put on a swimsuit and went to the pool. Did I sit next the the flat stomach girls in their bikinis? You betcha. I'm sure we looked like before and after pictures.

It's a confidence thing nothing else. Will the people here support you to help you lose the weight. Of course we will. But you are the only one that can make yourself feel good.

I always say that... I even add richer because I have a friend who is always upset because she thinks she doesn't have money... I always tell her there is always someone prettier, smarter, thinner, and richer. HAHA I should practice what I preach

It just hurts when I struggle with weight and poof she loses 13 lbs. I saw her at Christmas and she looked great. My mom even told me how cute the 2 piece she bought for disney looks.

I am usually comfortable with who I am... just not my body.

My stats are highest 183 then lost until I was 129 (for about a day ) and I gained some and right now I am 141, I am trying to eat right and excercise but it just isn't moving.... I hate pitty parties but I can't help it today.

I have been calling around about Pilates because I heard that is good for toning up.

Evil Genius that you for your comment... maybe I should re read your coworker thread, laugh my butt off and forget about my pity party.

We've all been there. Weight plateau's suck. Yeah go read about Miss Information and be glad you don't have to sit next to her!!

PM me if you ever need a shoulder to cry on or a boot in the butt. I'm good at both

Congratulations to you for getting to where you are! I know that was not an easy task! Be proud--and be happy. Do what you must to stay/remain/get...healthy and keep on keepin' on. You should be PROUD! of all that you have accomplised. I am proud of you for sure!

Hon, I've always been the "chubby one" in a family of skinney butt sil's. When I was younger it always bothered the heck out of me. I'd diet and then regain the weight all the while making myself miserable. Not anymore. Now, I'm losing weight for myself. I know I'll never be as skinny as my sil's I just want to be comfortable in my own skin. Besides of all the men in our family I married the Prince Charming! God Bless Him, he loves me for me!

I am so sorry. I have struggled my whole life. In high school I weighed 129 and got teased because I was chubby. A doctor told me to go on an 800 calorie a day diet to lose to 110. I never did.

I am only 5' tall.

I have been up and down. The lowest I got was 108. It felt fantastic for the 5 minutes I was there! (ok, it was more like 3 years, but it seemed to pass very quickly!)

Then I had babies. I would love to be my chubby 129 again.

I can understand how you feel. I am from a family of over-weight people. I wasn't the heaviest, but until my second child I was usually the smallest. (Imagine, at 185 I was the smallest!) Anyhow, with my current weight loss, I am once again the smallest sibling. I am working towards a pre-pregnancy weight of 170. I have about 40 more pounds to go. Any how, my DH has only 1 brother, and he is single. I just have to compete with my 2 brothers' wives. I am proud of who I am, I have lost a lot of weight, and I know it isn't suppose to make a difference in how we feel about ourselves, but it does. I am happy, have a great family, but still feel depressed once in a blue moon about my shape.

SO, no problem with whinning. r3ngels, I will listen, since I have indulged myself.

You have made wonderful progress, don't minimize that.

This is something I struggle with myself. Currently I have been working on the perspective of how do I feel 'inside'. I have one sister who was always been the smallest, I never have worn a bikini as a teen or adult. I am now smaller than my sister, still not enough to wear a bikini.

Try to focus on other blessings you have in your life. I find that for me I get past the plateaus when I remove the negativity and focus on the blessings.


btw...thanks for the reminder as to how my SIL must feel. My MIL is always telling her things about me that I am sure doesn't make her happy. I would prefer if she would stop gossiping. Would make my life easier.

Okay Guys... my pitty party is over (for now)... Thank Goodness. I hate feeling that way.

My DH reminded me how much stress they are under lately. My Brother had to get a new job and he isn't making us much as he was and they just built their dream house... his old boss' thought they could do some creative budgeting (think Enron) and they just got sentanced last week. My bro was a share holder but never new anything was going on... he is trying to save his name in his field of work. But they are extremely upset they thought the bosses where like friends to them.

Stress makes some people loss weight... not me I eat but I guess that is why I am on WISH

I also realized I love my family, my life is great... I just hate my stomach. I have nice wrists and ankles btw. I am focusing on the good. Oh and I have cheek bones and neck bones (they were missing for a while )

I love Disney... (like most of you) so I am not letting it ruin my trip. I truly love my SIL and I am going to focus on our friendship not our weight. I will just sit next to my Brother at the pool

I have focused on my diet plan without cheating... and have done my excercising everyday... plus I bought some new shorts and clothes for the trip. Shopping always helps.

Thank you for all your responses... you guys always get me through my struggles.

 

[believe]

I am so glad you are feeling better about this.

btw...I am also one the eats when stressed, or any other excuse I can come up with

Enjoy your trip.
