I have gotten off track with my exercise last week we went camping so didn't go to the gym on Thursday of Friday, than this week my gym has been closed all week because they are getting new equipment, which I am excited about, but I have used as an excuse not to exercise. I feel terrible. Good news is i have stuck to my calorie allotment very well even when we were away from home :). Now i need to get my butt back into the gym!!! I don't know why but i have been worried about weighing myself even though I have done well on my diet I feel like not getting my workouts in has stalled my progress and I am afraid i will see no progress and get discouraged not motivated.
Lately I have been feeling like I haven't changed at all, even though I have lost 23 pounds and my clothes fit a lot better i feel like the same old fat guy. A lot of friends of mine and my wife's have noticed a change in her and a change in my friend that I have been working out with even people I work with have noticed a huge change in my uncle that I work with (he has done amazing and has lost a lot) but not a lot of people have commented on me looking any different. I feel discouraged!!! I need to stop!!! I want to stop!!!! I AM GOING TO STOP!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I have to admit i was really unsure that blogging was gonna do anything for me but it really helps to "say" these things out loud (sorta) It feels good to type out my issues.

    You are doing wonderful!!!! And I see a huge difference in the way you look... remember I get to see you naked every day, my opinion should be the one that counts. You are slimming down sooo much. Your tummy will be flat in no time (it’s getting there)… the only reason people are not noticing your loss as much is because you are built broad and you ware loose clothing. So your tummy never stuck out much isn’t that a good thing… and I have never seen you as being fat…NEVER… I LOVE YOU and I LOVE the way you look…. I wish you could see you how I see you (and yes I know that’s what you say to me all the time but in this case its true hehehe)…. Your my sexy wonderful husband no matter what size you are!!!!

    You are not alone, everyone goes through this kind of a thing. Sometimes I feel so good because I am doing everything I am suppose to do , then I look in the mirror. I feel like its not enough and get discouraged. But, I have to remind myself that its a life style change not a diet. And I am better than I was before and that I am on my way to getting even better it just takes time. Sometimes I think the people we know are afraid to comment as to not offend. Weight is a touchy subject. Keep up good work , you'll see results and so will everyone else- K

  Thanks for stopping by my blog. I did not know how I would like to blog either, but reading others really helps me. Writing my own puts it in black and white and it is easier to see what is real and what I am worried about that does not matter. It is a good exercise in mental therapy too! Good luck, you are being too hard on yourself. If your clothes are fitting better, that is such a good measurement. Remember when on one comments on your wt. loss, this is for you and not for them. Look in the mirror and yell "Wow, I look good". emoticon emoticon

    My favorite part of SP is learning and being inspired by others through the blogs. Keep the updates coming. They are hugely helpful to others too.

I totally get the excitement of fitting into old clothes. It's also nice getting new clothes too (I used to dread it).
