I believe that one should see & hear the positive & negative.
That's the way life is....whether you are trying to loose
weight or not.

Thank-you Ladybug.  Let me ask you are you a usual visitor to the blogs?

Belinda ~ I TOTALLY think that ya'll blogging is for your highs and lows. To be able to vent on how you are feeling and to be able to express your excitement when something good happens. I promise on the days you are having lows there are people out there just like you who are having the same thing going on and for them to read and realize that they are not the only ones will really help them. I also promise on those days that something awesome happens and you post it on here I am totally excited for you! Being that i'm doing this from home w/ ya'll I know it can go either way. Yesterday at the grocery story my husband went w/ me and he was hungry so he jsut wanted to buy stuff that was junky and quick. It got REAL frustrating and i kinda got in a bad mood cause I was like why don't i just grab a burger and frieds and be done but i couldn't! Belinda you are doing a FABULOUS job keep up the good work! ~ Marci

Uh Yea that’s what’s its for!! Seems to me that you are on the opposite end of the spectrum Belinda than everyone else.  Not only are you in a higher age range than the other participants but you are also on the lighter side of the scale. Think about it who wants to see a show with no excitement or conflict, maybe that would be bad for ratings? We all know the older you get the harder it is for your body to get rid of the fat AND everyone knows that  you put one 300lb woman one 200lb woman through the same routine the 300lb woman will drop quicker. The bottom line is YOU ARE loosing and YOU WILL get to that weight that you see yourself at.  Everyone seems to have one common factor and that is the feeling of not knowing where else to turn to, to loose the weight. There have been ups and downs for everyone but after reading ALL the blogs and watching every Thursday it seems that you have been singled out as not being a team player or not having the commitment that the others do. Must be humiliating to work your but off, watch your diet and put forth the effort to keep up with your daily life AND only barely see that scale flinch. Last week I thought you were very strong to be able to stand there live on TV, not walk off or fly off the handle after Gill said he had one word for you “commitment”. I don’t know if I could have continued to stand there with out falling apart. AND THEN you go to the one place you have to vent and interact with people just to have yet more of those people that are there to support you RUN YOU DOWN. Seems that some people just don’t have the maturity level to understand that everyone is different than everyone else. We all react to things in life defiantly some people just have yet to discover how to respect that. Way to go Belinda YOU do what YOU need to do to get to that place in life that makes YOU happy!! Who cares about what ANYONE has to say about what you should or shouldn’t say. You blog all you want about your ups , downs AND opinions. If there are people out there that don’t agree there is nothing saying they have to read it, thats why its a BLOG, they should just move on and be a little more concerned with there own struggles in there own life. I look forward to hearing anything you need to say in any of your blogs! BLOG AWAY AND DONT CHANGE WHO YOU ARE FOR ANYONE ELSE BUT YOU!
