Is there anything you want at lower weight that you don't have now?
I'll give an example. My current waist is above 40".. I'd like to get it below 40" because that's the rough cut off for cardiac complications.. that means more loss..maybe I'll get there maybe I won't
350 lb me would bitch slap 204 lb me left and right, but you want what you want
I also wanted muscles, so I kayaked all summer 4 to 6 times a week . Got a decent set of upper arms and shoulders, but it looks like someone draped skin over them... Ah well, life always throws you a curve ball
I hope I’m not one to give you a stab. While I knew I was overweight, I did it to get off all my meds. If it hadn’t been for that, I probably would still be in the 200’s.My #1 problem is comparison. When someone who had a start weight of my current weight talks about how disgustingly huge they were, I cannot help but feel a stab in the heart.
damn them! and mostly?!still obese and some medical professionals do not hesitate to bring it up. Yeah they mostly pipe down after I explain my weight loss

Oh no, not at all. It is a certain type of lightweight. The type that posts their before and after pics with descriptors like 'huge, massive, fat, disgusting' and 'I can't believe I let myself go so far'...to 260lbs lol. Those SAME DSers cannot fathom how my body will not allow me to lose more and have advised me to eat 1300 calories a day 'If I'm serious about my goals' lol..they can fuck right the hell off.
It's not even most lightweights, it's a loud handful. Although if I blocked them all on FB I'd pretty much be posting in a void lol. I however, am better of mentally when I avoid the DSer FB groups. That's not right, but that's how it is. There is so much underhanded shaming. Like my post about my issues before I contacted Dr K....a lot had their opinions about what they assumed I was doing wrong and then when I corrected them they said 'well you didn't get to over 600lbs by eating right'. It's that type of shit. I am never able to feel proud of how far I have come because there is always some bitch judging as to why I didn't do better.
I cannot for the life of me find a single female DSer who started over 600...hell, even 550, that made it below 210. Anyone else know of anyone who made it further without malnutrition?
Yup, I'm upset at being judged at not being good enough to sit at the successful DSer table.
You are one of the MOST successful I know. In fact, I often tell hubby how proud I am of what you have done.Yup, I'm upset at being judged at not being good enough to sit at the successful DSer table.
