Really Silly Question

Okay, I'm putting this here 'cause it isn't really weight loss related, more so feelings towards it.


But have any of you ever actually cried or wanted to cry due to weight loss?

What I mean is.....


I was 299/300lbs back after my first surgery (unrelated to weight) in 2006. I dropped 10lbs till 2007 when I had the same surgery, but vowed not to gain the weight, dropped another 20lbs. And I stayed at one weight for so long, then I gained some back due to unhealthy habits, and I'd starve myself, and blahblahblah.

Now....now I'm seeing a weight drop each week, I feel HAPPY yanno? honestly happy, I'm SO excited, it makes me want to cry (and I have) cause I wanna run up to EVERYONE and say "HEY! guess what!!! I ate food AND STILL LOST WEIGHT!!!!" I feel like ALL my dreams are within reach and I'm just...overly happy about it all. Like I've finally broken down a wall and hit the pot of gold that I couldn't ever find before...

Has anyone else felt this? I mean, obviously, we all have ups and downs in weight, but I feel like I've hit the magic "something" that finally has triggered me to do this.

Maybe I'm crazy....lol.
 
your not crazy hun! its def. happend to me before :D
 
Been there, done that.

When I got my last pair of jeans, 5 sizes smaller than my old ones, I held them up, looked at them and thought 'There is no way in hell I am going to fit into these!' - Tried them on, they fit perfectly. I took them back off, put them back on, just to make sure, then started crying. Not even sure why. Maybe because I realised that I CAN do it, and how much I deprived myself by not losing the weight earlier, I don't know.

Also, a few days back I was getting stuff from the trunk of the car and carried it inside. One of my neighbours came over, an elderly lady who never said anything to me other than 'Good morning', and she was like 'Excuse me love, but I have been watching you every morning when you get your husband to work, and I noticed you are losing weight. You are looking better every day.' And with that she went off again. I carried the rest of my stuff in, sniffling to myself. It was just nice that somebody who doesn't really know me, and had no reason to be nice or make any kind of comment, actually noticed. :)

So, we are either both crazy, or it is completely normal! :)
 
I'm right there at the moment. I felt like I've discovered the secret to being happy inside and i just want to share it with every one. Unfortunately my friends are not as receptive as i hoped they would be. But yes, every time I push my self to a new goal in the gym, or go a while eating healthy, and then realize how different i feel now as compared to before. I'm excited, and i want to share it with every one.

This is truly a lifestyle, and i love it. I do have doubts in my head some times about how long i will be able to stay on this train. But i have found that magic something that has kept me on this healthy lifestyle for 35 days, and counting.

When i think back about my eating habits and sedentary lifestyle and how that made me unhappy, and i would use food, and sitting around for 8 hours a day after work/school and vegetate to create what i thought was happiness. I think about how much better i feel now that I am healthier and its positively kept the urges to go back to the old lifestyle down.

That’s not to say i don't have a craving for a pizza now and then, or when I'm at home at night that i don't want to go to McDonalds and get a 20 piece nugget. But my happiness right now is totally out weighing those negative habit urges... If that makes sense at all
