Tell me your secret

[TEXASLADY52 264]

It drove me insane at first.....I would read all the updates and see how people were dropping weight right and left and I wasn't. I got really down on myself and thought I was a failure again!! Then I stopped letting it get to me.....This is my body, my journey...yes we are all different. I may be slower ....I will just reach the finish line when I get there! Don't ever tell yourself you have lost "only" or "just" 32 pounds....put that same weight of can goods in a sack and pick it up.....then you will realize how much weight you have removed from your bones carrying around. 32 pounds is a small child!

Awe @@TEXASLADY52, I love the way you put that into a better perspective for me. You're right I'll get to my goal when I get there and have to learn that patience and hard work will get me there. This is not a competition and we are all striving to get to the goal line. This is my journey and mine alone. Thanks everyone for making me look at this in a more positive light. I'm thankful I found this site and I'm truly thankful for all of you.
