Hi Changed my Target Weight Loss Plan. Every Time I saw 80 lb I had a bit of Panic and felt it might be unachievable:


So here is my New Target Planner:

Target 1: 28 lb = 214 lb
Target 2: 15 lb = 199 lb
Target 3: 14 lb = 185 lb
Target 4: 14 lb = 175 lb

That will be 12 st 5lb

Even viewing it now it looks easier and more achievable

RETURNING AGAIN
SO NEED GET HIS WEIGHT DOWN BUT AS MY HEALTH NOT GOOD AT MOMENT IT WILL BE VERY SLOW.

How has gaingin weight changed your life?
This post is great. Im so annoyed at mysel gaining weight and more annoyed Im letting others belittle me.

recently i decided to start dating again after years, went out in such a possitive mood, first time in long time, actually meet someone (proves to me that how you feel about yrsel is how people treat you)
everything went great, went on a DATE, treated lovely, then at end of Date, he spoilt it all with the comment, He loves the EXTRA LARGE ladies as they appreciate been loved more. HE HIMSEL WAS A BIG MAN.

Its comments like that than bring a person crashing down, but When I told my pals they nearly had a fit. we are laughing bout it now. I know he should be thrilled that I even met up with him, and thing is he was a really nice man and I dont think he still knows what he said hurt.

So yes I do know people treat you different when you are heavier and it does interfer with living a full life no matter how confidence you feel. and another thing we do being overweight is always say SORRY for this Sorry for that even when others at fault.Ie Feeling we are taking up space in shopping asiles, people bumping into us.

Thats my moan over
