Get Fit

Readers, this is your fair warning.  A down in the dumps alert...Sometimes I just need to talk myself through the rough spots. I get afraid, sometimes, of what my life will be like when I get to my 'goal'.  I think part of that is from people saying they think I look great now.  Really?  I'm hovering at the 200 pound mark and I look great?  When I look in my mirror I see a fat woman who knows how to dress to hide weight.  What will I look like at 140?  Will I look great? Or will I have tons of loose wrinkly skin hanging all over like an elephant?  Will I look old and worn out?  Will I gain it all back plus some?

Sometimes I think I won't get to my goal and that I'm just wasting my time especially when I step on the scale and discover I've not lost a pound or worse yet GAINED!  What is wrong with me that I can't lose the weight all of a sudden?  Maybe the problem is that I sometimes feel content.  I think that's what my  husband is banking on. That I feel content and stop trying so I don't make him look bad.  Am I right or just paranoid?  When did I let paranoia creep into this equation?

I am so frustrated with my weight right now that I can't see straight.

Just found your blog! Don't get discouraged. I have come from over 260 lbs (Don't know exactly because the scale and I weren't friends. Could be closer to 300lbs based on my clothes size.) Now I'm under 200lbs (just barely but there!!). I'm also 5'7" and need to get down to 140. IF I CAN DO IT YOU CAN DO IT!!

I've been concerned about baggy skin also. When I lose the weight I want to lose, will it just flap and fold over itself?

I'm hoping skin can adjust to the body, and shrink to fit. Is that true?
