"Can you believe all these fat people?" (LONG)

That probably had a lot to with the self-image problem, losing nearly 50 pounds in 2 1/2 months there was no time to get used to anything. When I would get a compliment I would think the person was screwing with me as I still had the view from 'inside'. We were supposed to get a 2 year maintenance phase which included ongoing psycho conditioning, weigh-ins, physical activity, etc. They told us up front losing the weight was easy, keeping it off was the battle. They also said studies had shown for an adult to make a major lifestyle change it took up to 2 years of support and repetition. We got 6 weeks... }You're off to a good start. Especially the part where you call it a }lifestyle instead of a diet. I have yo yo' ed enough to know all diets eventually fail so it must take something else. A change in eating style make a lot more sense than starving to lose weight only to gain it all back... Later, Dave |

I just found this group a few days ago and have been catching up on the subjects. However, it does amaze me the amount of discrimination toward us fat people when in the US a high percentage of the total population are considered obese (and climbing)...
