I have been struggling for four, five months now to get back on track and I keep slipping back up. And all I can sometimes focus on is the idea that I've "only" lost 40 amount of lbs, and how if I had stayed on track I could have lost so many more. But when I did the math, like you did, I discovered those "only" lbs are 33.8% of my ultimate goal/total! How on earth can I complain about that? Besides, as much as I love Biggest Loser, it's unrealistic for the average non-reality star person at home. So my new goal is to lose another 10 lbs by the end of July. That will be 50 lbs for the first year, which I find to be more than acceptable. THIS is why I love reading your blog, because you always manage to help me put things in perspective.

I think one of my favorite things about your blog is just helping me know I'm not alone in my struggles. I often feel so alone, & then I read one of your posts, & you just hit the nail on the head. My biggest foe is myself, but I never lose hope, & I know you won't either. Here's to us, & those like us! I have to tell you, I think you're awesome.
