Default Addicted To Losing

WELL WITH US LOSING SO FAST FOR SO LONG AS TIME GOES BY THINGS TEND TO SLOW DOWN WHICH IS EXPECTED BUT WHAT HAPPENS? I SOMTIMES GET AFRAID I WILL BE ADDICTED TO LOSING. WHEN THE LOSING STOPS I HOPE THAT WONT MAKE ME UPSET OR DISAPPOINTED. BECAUSE AS THE WT LOSS SLOWS DOWN OR WHEN I HIT STALLS I SEE MYSELF GOING NUTS WHICH WE ALL DO BUT WHAT I MEAN IS I GET AN ACTUAL HIGH OFF OF LOSING LIKE IM ADDICTED TO NOT ONLY SEEING THE SCALE MOVE BUT INCHES ALSO. OR WILL I BE CONTENT WHEN THE LOSING STOPS BECAUSE I WILL BE AT MY GOAL WT? I WONDER

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

this is a good question. i think it depends on the person. i think you will be happy before you reach goal. and getting to that number will just be a bonus. we all started out with a number in mind. for me, before i even got to the original goal, i was content with my body and had begun accepting what i look like NOW as opposed to before. i think once the brain catches up to the loss, you become ok with where you are. for some thats before goal, for others its at goal, and there is that small percentage that is never happy no matter how much they lose. these are just things i have come to realize.

Kenya's got it -- I think its all a matter of how we think about it. A positive attitude and outlook will go a long way toward accepting the weight loss as it slows and how much you've achieved to that point. For me, I know, I'm at a point now that even if I never made it to my full goal of 150, I would be okay -- I've come so far and I feel so great, nothing could ever make me feel negative about this whole journey!

I think you will be completely content,because you are already so happy. you have changed looks so much.You will be such a Tiny thing when you get to goal. It is very addictive watching the scales move, but you are pretty grounded!

No Dont Get Me Wrong I Am Really Thrilled With The Progress I Have Made so far, still have a ways to go. When I Say Addicted To The Wt Loss Of Numbers Or Inches I Mean. Hmmmmm How Do I Explain This. Im Happy But I Love To See Those Numbers Move On The Scale Or In Inches Almost Like A Game In A Way.

I agree....I think at times, I am a little over-obsessed with the whole issue...hubby looks at me sometimes like he's tired of hearing about my weight...and the last 5.5 months have been focused pretty much ENTIRELY on this.....what happens when I get to goal....and I have poured so much into this....then I'm done....? Find a hobby? LOL

you will find something else that will motivate you. for instance SHOPPING!!! lol. seriously, this thing goes in stages. it isnt over when the scale stops moving. you will find different things to "do" that have to do with your new body etc. it's so hard to explain. but i just got "there" myself. i am at a point where i dont care what the scale says, its about image and how clothes look and feel and finding new styles A.K.A. new ways to hide the flab you will find your way. it aint over til the fat lady sings, and since none of us are fat anymore, it's infinate LMAO!!!!!
