The next decade....what's in store?

Don't feel bad, Yammie -- that's just 2 Libran. U'll B Okay. MayB a new target -- e.g. next Easter -- would bring even more success & allow U to enjoy Christmas food.

Hi Michelle i know exactly how you feel but here's the thing though..... i don't see you as a failure at all because its just a number what about how you feel on the whole do you feel healthy? ...i like how consistent you have been with the pilates and exercise and to me thats more important i know we have goals for ourselves and the tipical thing i am usually tempted to do is to just give up but please don't you've come this far and those diet pills i can tell you from first hand experience does more harm than good.....so stick to it and don't give up :)you have been a good example for me..still haven't used my winsor pilates tape yet maybe in your honour i'll try it this week...:)

After I read this post I had to go back to look on the pictures that you had posted some days ago to see if my eyes were deceiving me. They weren't. Continue to do what you're doing, but if you don't achieve your goal, do not dispair because you look quite nice with. I know it hard to get used to the fact that your tummy not as flat as when you were 20 and there's a little weight elsewhere, but it's just you still looking good in a more voluptuous way.

Not a failure at all. Remain motivated.

Not a failure - ypou've done a hell of a lot - and done it in a good way rather than being stupid and starving yourself! Keep going, you;ll get there when the time is right.

Hey Yamfoot... I've been watching your progress on and off out of boredom and curiosity since I stumbled across your blog (I'm the husband of a current med student at SGU), and I just had to comment today.

Potentially missing your mark is NOT failure.
Don't starve yourself, just be sensible and active.
Don't stop trying!

Look at it this way -- even if you don't reach your set goal, you've accomplished a lot. You're still a DIVA!!!

u're all too kind really. I think I just dont have an accurate perception of my body and size. Would you believe that I feel the same way I did when I weighed 241, and that if I didnt step on the scale on October 2001 and see that it said 241, I woulda never known I weighed that much?

Gela, I can't ever remember my stomach being flat. I have always been overweight, from a kid till now.

Joshua, thanks for stopping by. Make sure you enjoy all the wonderful things of Grenada. Being from a third world country myself (Jamrock) it wasn't such a shock to me. Just make sure you enjoy the people. I find them to be the most fabulous people in the region and I have visited about 13 Caribbean islands.

I'm happy to report that I chose to go to the gym this evening, even though I was dog tired and nearly just went home after work.

Can I get up tomorrow morning after eating that half of a whole wheat hops I shouldn't have had at 10:00 o'clock in the night. These are my struggles.

Night.

I guess no matter what we say it all comes down to how you feel.Who says we all have to be a particular size anyway? You look fine and I would think you are healthy so don't sweat it too much.

Mich, You know you look great at your current size. Whatever you do keep up the exercise and eat EVERYTHING in moderation. From your friend who is going through the same thing...
My first goal was to be a size 12 for my 40th, you know thats gone. New goal is to lose 10lbs by the time your birthday weekend comes around. Next 10lb goal is to travel to the USA in December to buy my size 12 wardrobe, including 36C bras! Ha Ha

Maybe you had set an unrealistic goal for yourself. Don't worry...simply set the date for you goal a few months later than your birthday this year. And don't think of it as failure. We all have goals that we do not necessarily accomplish in the time we set for ourselves initailly. Smile gyal....you a seh nuff! ;-)

Was it the cancer post that I read? Don't remember but after reading it, I promised myself that I'm going to eat healthy. So why am I now here eating two bullas, tamerind balls, cheese trix and box drink? I need your discipline girl. Big up.
