Strange inspiration

I've been feeling kind of depressed lately about how long it's taking me to get nowhere with this whole weight loss thing. I've been losing and gaining the same 10 pounds since January of 2005 when my youngest daughter was born. That's depressing. Seriously depressing. 

The real truth is, that I haven't been trying to lose weight all this time though.  I'd lose a few, coast, gain a few, get frustrated and give up. Over and over again. But I have been actively trying to lose weight since December 2007 and in that time I've lost a grand total of 8ish pounds. That's a 1 pound per month average. Depressing.

In case you couldn't tell, I've been feeling sorry for myself. I've been wondering why I even bother when the weight doesn't want to leave anyway. And then I read Gwynn's blog and for some reason, I was filled with the energy to keep going. I can't explain it except to say that inspiration comes in many forms. And for me, apparently it's Gwynn's boney knees!

Onward and downward, my friends. Onward and downward.

You made me smile!!

I am glad that my newfound bones have given you some inspiration. I have also been struggling for the past 3 or 4 months to drop the pounds but nothing seems to be working for me. Maybe I have just gotten comfortable where I am. In any case we will both move through these barriers and drop these pounds! We can do it!
