Bill,
I think you have the most wonderful sense of humor..."piece of (low carb) cake". Just too funny!!! It can be discouraging when you look at the whole amount of weight loss. I haven't had 200 to lose, but almost. At my heaviest I had a whole person to lose--175. I really truly felt like I had no hope. But when I finally tried low carbing I realized it really is possible. I look forward to future events and try to imagine what weight I'll be at that time. I know that it will be smaller. Slowly and steadily I am shrinking. Before I just kept getting bigger. What a turn around! It is so good to see your progress and others and be able to share in your success. I look forward to actually NOT feeling obese. I know that even before I reach my goal I will get to where I'm not wondering if I'm going to break a lawn chair. It's been so long...I wonder if I'll get it into my head that I'm not that big anymore. Maybe it is good to lose slowly...so one's mind can catch up? Victoria
