Down over 50 pounds on 1500 cal/day and I've passed the 100 day mark. I just wanted to thank people on the sub for being supportive and offer a few encouraging words to anyone who might be considering doing the same.
Encouraging words follow ...
If you are sitting there right now thinking that you feel tired, that you don't feel like getting up to do anything, that you have all these plans but are tired of basically letting yourself down by not making good on them. If you just wish you could stay asleep when you wake up, and then when you get up feel like you never slept at all. If you feel like you are lazy, that you don't have conviction, and that you can't count on yourself and have confidence that you will do the things you need to do in order to have a better life ... then let me give you some good news ... it's just because you are fat. Losing weight will fix it. I haven't felt this great in a decade or more. Yesterday I was outside working in the garden and actually got a lot of things done, and ended the day sore from doing so much. You aren't lazy, you don't have motivational problems, you aren't apathetic, and you probably aren't even depressed ... you're just fat. If everyone got up each day and had to carry 50, 60, .. 100 pounds around on their backs all day, they wouldn't feel like doing anything either. How you feel is a natural, predictable result of being fat. You can lose weight and feel better ... and get stuff done without even trying. Losing weight causes your energy to increase, and you start buzzing with energy ... it's like you have to go and get some stuff done or you'll just go crazy sitting still. You stop dragging yourself off the sofa, and start picking it up and moving it so you can vacuum underneath it. Being fat sucks. And you know it sucks ... but you don't REALLY know how bad it sucks until you lose 50+ pounds, then you see just how bad it really was, and how many of the problems you thought you had were really just all one problem .. being fat.
