ReneeJRoss Losing weight has helped me extend my life. Being obese I was on the road to many health issues including hypertension and possibly diabetes.

AlainaFrederick I fear this too. I know I NEED to lose weight but every time I try I hit a wall. I WANT to lose weight too but then there is this part of me that says who cares.
I think I have deeper issues to sort out!

ReneeJRoss Thanks Emily. And Alaina, most of it is about changing your mindset and dealing with the emotional issues that are keeping the weight on. I "tried" to lose weight for two years before I was successful.

Brandie Alaina - I learned people who are afraid to fail often don't try. So that when they fail they have a ready excuse to fall back on. "Well, I did horribly because I procrastinated and did it last minute." "Well, I didn't research it as well as I should have so that's why that paper wasn't that great."
I would imagine that could be applied to losing weight. I'm sure I suffer from it too. Well, what if I really try and I still don't' lose weight? Or what if I do lose weight and my life isn't magically perfect and wonderful as I often imagine losing 10 pounds will do for me (because realistically, it won't, so it's a way to not have to dig deeper).
