Happiness

I have lost 115 lbs and I am still not happy. Some of my friends have called me ungrateful,but I don't think so. While 115 lbs. is good,I want to lose more. I want to lose about 75 more pounds. I don't think that's unreasonable. I have had some friends tell me I will never be happy and that I have become vain. I am not vain, I just finally realized how fat I was before surgery and I want to look the best that I can. Is that a crime? Apparently to some it is. I feel if I was willing to get cut open to lose weight then I should lose as much weight as possible.

I have not lost a pound since I started drinking beer every Thursday night, so tonight is my last night to drink. I am trying to go down two dress sizes by Dec. 2nd. That's when our office holiday party is and I want to look stunning. So my goal is to be size 16 or 14. Right now I am an 18/20. I think I can do it if I stop drinking and exercise more. So today starts the countdown. Right now I am at 223 because I gained 5 pounds from all my drinking. So wish me luck!

    Pokey, hey girl, I don't think you are ungrateful. You just want your money's worth, so to speak. I am different. I would settle for what you have now. But everyone's different. And above all, you have to be happy in your own skin. Don't let others get ya down because you aren't satisfied yet. You aren't looking to be bony, just normal. I don't know think that's too much to ask.

    I agree with Sooner. You are doing this for YOU. Unless you get to the point that you are annorexic, then I don't think you have too much to worry about. Get to a point where you are happy with yourself. Get to a point where you feel good. Get to a point where you are HEALTHY... and then maintain. This is for YOU!
