I realized while walking on the treadmill I no longer need to lose 100 pounds. When I get to 200 which should be this week or next, I will only need to lose 60-65 pounds. The elephant is shrinking and getting easier to eat.
I think yoga is helping. I go two nights a week and each class lasts 1.5 hours. I hate yoga - it’s hard (now I am whining) but I think it is helping making me stronger and working those muscles that haven’t seen a lot of action in a long time. I only have two more weeks to go but think I will sign up for another 10 classes. I may even get good at it.
I was lamenting to my master teacher, who is also on WW, that it’s a bummer to lose 25 pounds and have people not notice. She replied to me (because someone said this to her), “Well if you took a cup of water from the ocean, do you think anyone would notice? This is the same thing. You have to lose a lot more for someone to notice.”
There you go. Someone is always willing to SLAP you in the face with reality.

Sometimes people are complete fucking IDIOTS. Makes me want to SLAP them into fucking the reality of being a sensitive human being. Obviously missed that somewhere in their upbringing….
You hang in there Ms. Bobbie - I can’t tell you how awesome it is that you’ve dropped that weight. Doggone it - one day they’ll start walking up to you and talking some shit about how they don’t RECOGNIZE you anymore. Sometimes people are goddamn insensitive.
But hey - you keep doing what you do lady. You do it so well! Soon you’ll drop another dress size and start showing it off to the world. In the meantime, you have done an incredible job and don’t let some hosehead fucker bring you down!

Umm I think Ann pretty much summed it up LOL.
I’m guessing she’s a twig and a twit. (your instructor)
Just let it go, she doesn’t understand fat chicks. Come to us. We get it
(((((((Well if you took a cup of water from the ocen, do you think anyone would notice? This is the same thing. You have to lose a lot more for someone to notice.” ))))))

I agree! Your instructir is a stupid insensitive fool. I am sure people HAVE noticed your losing 25 pounds. It’s just that sometimes people don’t say things because they are too busy with themselves. Whether anyone says in or not,. 25 lbs is awesome!!! I will be dancing crazy with joy when I lose that much!
Please forget her stupid remark and keep doing what you do so well already. I am struggling to lose ANY weight and I know what 25 pounds mean - a GREAT deal!
love,
