I had an insight today!


4tun8 said: "I love these "Light bulb" moments in my life where I discover a little about what motivates me so I thought I'd share... As I am nearing my goal (it's 135, I'm 141 this morning), I have been less motivated to exercise and eating some Easter candy that I know I shouldn't. And finally it hit me! I have subconsciously "hidden" behind a few extra pounds since high school. It has somehow always been like a security blanket to me. When I was young, it kept me from having to deal with certain boys who may have "made a move" on me. Yes, yes, I know this is crazy to most of you... but I really think I'm onto something about my own personal psyche. When I was working (as a trainer for an engineering company - standing in front of a classroom of construction workers) I also kept the weight on. Now, I can't think of any reason why I need to wear my secret protective shield around anymore so I am back on track! What do you think? Maybe I have been watching too much power ranger television during spring break!"

I think she has lost 10 lbs in the last 2 weeks. It's great to see that happening. I'm overweight because I really like to eat, and never really cared about my health. After 2 kids that has changed"
