I think everyone has something self-destructive in their lives. For some its weight, for some its perpetually falling for the same kind of jerky person, and for others its porn. (porn is the best option, btw) When you look around, I bet you 50$ you won’t find anyone who doesn’t do something self-destructive because it’s easier than trying to change themselves. The fact is, nobody here is going to judge you, because all of us have something we’re doing that isn’t good for us… physically, emotionally, psychologically… some of us are just really talented at keeping other people from finding out what it is.

Keep up the fight that you’ve already come so far on. I’m reminded in a strange way to when I was 3 years into my college. I was frustrated, I wanted to quit, I was working way too much and I just couldn’t see the point. I already had a decent job. Then someone said “Pete, your education is going to take another 5 years to finish… how old will you be in five years?” “29″ I answered. “Pete, how old will you be in five years if you DON’T finish your education?”

Crap. 29. I guess what I’m trying to get at is even if it’s slow and it’s frustrating and it seems like you’re working hard and the results aren’t coming as quick as they should… 5 years from now, those small results will have added up to big results.

How glad I am that I didn’t quit college. It’s still going slow, but now I can see the finish line.

There’s a balance to everything. You’ve done great, which proves that you can accomplish whatever you want to. Of course it’s not easy, and kicking yourself in the butt is so hard (Physically as well as mentally), but you DO have quite a huge fan club.

I’m pulling for you! I’m also sending a lot of positive vibes your way. Have you picked up on them yet?

I also don’t think you’re whining at all. You need to get it out of your system somehow, and talking about it is a much more healthy way of dealing than letting it all get pent up and adding to your stress level.

I’m cheering for you!

And there I was thinking that you had a big heart just because you loved us all so much! . . . Yah, exercise SUCKS, I hate it. But … you can read a book or watch telly or listen to music in order to distract yourself from what you are doing. Or go for a walk on the beach. Or get a hot studly trainer… And when I get around to shedding the 8-lbs I have gained then I’ll take some new photos. Trust me, on my frame, that amount of weight SHOWS.

I’ll cheer you on but at the same time will stand behind your shoulder with a bullhorn and scream at you. Keep at it because no one’s going to do it for yuo (trite but true). Think of all the more HOARISH things you could be were you feeling better. That in itself should be incentive enough.

I can relate to what you are feeling with the weight issues as well. It’s been a life-long struggle for me too and I can’t ever seem to figure it out either. It can be so frustrating!

But know that there are a bunch of people cheering you on (even those of us who don’t know you in “real life”)

Hey, Andria, I’ve been there . . but I’m proud of you for stepping up and saying that you couldn’t make it work.

Andria. Dude. You rock. You lost ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS. I mean, shit, I get excited when I lose five. Don’t you sweat this, okay? (Although sweating is an excellent way to lose weight. Mmmm, sauna!) Much love.

{{{Hugs}}} While I don’t have any answers and didn’t loose 125 lbs, I feel I understand where you are. I feel like I’m in a similar place. Unhappy with my weight, knowing it’s causing me health issues and not completely willing to do anything about it.
