<leftylily> not if you dont belive it is.

<RIRED1958> just look at biskit! she did it!

<jroedel> yes thanks

<VioletSigh> It seems like a too hard to reach fantastic dream

<O2BTHINAGIN> I was one who always gave up, but this time I am going

to make it.

<insect> TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF SANDY

<catvennie> So, start belieivng!

<leftylily> it starts in the head, right richard.

<S> I KNOW THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT TO ANSWER BUT IT IS A

QUESTION THAT NEEDS AN ANSWER

<Lady_J> LOve ya, Sandy!

<Kai1967> what?

<Thankful> i don't know why i started gaining the weight back. oh

yeah i remember my parents got a divorce. I remember in 1996 I saw

you at a mall in greensboro north carolina richard and I talked to

you and told you about that and you told me that it is time to start

again lol. I will never forget that and that towel my mom gave you

to wipe your sweat off and you put it down and my mom picked it up

and gave it to me. I kept it for a few weeks to remember you bye

lol.

<catvennie> Shoot!

<Phatie> BRING IT ON

<S> COULD IT BE THAT YOU NEVER WANTED IT BAD ENOUGH?

<RIRED1958> I think I've never really reached it because I don't

think I deserve it..

<shorty911> Sometimes the truth hurts

<arfiebslim> But If I stand on the scale...and push down on the

counter...the scale will drop down to my goal weight LOL

<spring2> she was wonderful on the show yetersday

<Kai1967> my folks divored too

<LuckyStar2> It is also difficult if you have been heavy your whole

life...since a child and just CAN't picture yourself as being

thin...like a dream

<amypooh> YES

<ween88> Hi everyone...only here for a few

<teenystar> i keep thinking i want it so bad

<arfiebslim> this could be true

<shorty911> I never thought of it that way...

<Phatie> YES

<Kai1967> i gained and kept gaining after that

<Beatlefan> hi ladean

<DELIGHTED> LOVE YA ALL TOO HAVE A GREAT EVENING.NIGHT RICHARD

<thinlynn> I didn't have the courage, determination and support I

had this time.

<O2BTHINAGIN> I know I need this weight off. I have to raise my

daughter alone now and she is going to need me

<Thankful> i got side tracked

<S> COULD IT BE THAT YOU ARE STILL USING THE SAME EXCUSES

OVER AND OVER AGAIN NOT TO DO THIS?

<mjd> no, that's not it. sometimes health problems get in the way

too and compund the problem

<kathykferr> probably

<amypooh> LET NEGATIVITY BRING ME DOWN

<RIRED1958> why do I keep sabotaging myself???

<Phatie> YES

<Thankful> yes

<jroedel> night Sandy Love ya :-)

<Lady_J> It's possible, maybe that's why I have gain it all

back...twice.

<nursejen> i want it bad enought but I set my goal too high

<buffster> I'm not so sure that's the question, the question is why

dont you love yourself enough to want it

<amypooh> YES

<Phatie> HI BEV

<floann2> TRUE

<rviar52> MY WEIGHT KEEP GOING UP AND DOWN THEN BACK UP

<arfiebslim> too lazy....that's my excuse

<kathykferr> most likely

<shorty911> Hang in there lady j

<Kai1967> i dont think i can, and dont want to fail again

<tbearnut> lazy

<arfiebslim> SABOTAGE

<kathykferr> because up to now i wasnt important enough to take care

of.

<amypooh> JUST DO IT NO EXCUSES

<catvennie> For me, it was not caring enough about myself. Until I

started to care again I just kept gaining.

<nvrgivup> it's easier not to

<RIRED1958> SELF-sabotage

<Beatlefan> (((((heather))))) you are not

<catvennie> !!!!

<kathykferr> i had to learn i was worth being loved

<dkgh> hello everyone

is in the middle of all of this fat

<arfiebslim> my hubby, my mother, my friends

<insect> I am not worth it...

<sandyatksn> fear is not a factor for me...it's the focusing that i

stink at

<S> LET ME CHANGE SUBJECTS A LITTLE BIT

<Nanabear> Too many changes

<RIRED1958> hi dkgh

<tbearnut> yes we need to love ourselves, a problem

a size 14 my husband said well i still needed to loose weight its

hard when you don't get the support from your mate

<floann2> OK

<bobo> I'm lazy, not willing to explain to people what I'm doing

when they critize

<Lady_J> Afraid of gaining it all back again & getting

hurt... " Punish " for it...It has happened to me before.

<leftylily> great days, not so great days, but I need to change my

thoughts about moving.
