Oh and lastly, .

77 lbs?

Go to a dog feed story and lift the corners (not to heavy I don't want you

to get a hernia) of 4 - 20 lb dog food bags - yes might as well round up 3

lbs lol. That is what you lost :) . Ignore your doc on his lack of praise.

He's busy and has no time to " pick ppl up " so to speak so don't take him

personally. I know it's easier said than done.

So what that isn't what some ppl lose in a year. Atleast go do the dog bag

thing and smile at yourself for some type of accomplishment. Look for any

way of praising yourself..instead of tearing yourself down. This will set

your fight back to losing on a good road. I fight this a lot btw :) so I

know full well the feelings.

,

Sherra has a great suggestion of lifting the dog food bags. I was

feeling down whenever my weight loss slowed and one day I was in the

grocery store w/my husband and he took me to the flour and had me

pick up the bags. It really did put it in perspective for me.

Don't let anyone get you down about losing 77 lbs. Own it and move

on. Good Luck.
