I DID stop eating so much. I have done my weight loss (which has been a total of only about 35 lbs since January) with only exercise and a BETTER diet. No pills, no fads, no drinks...nada. I know exactly what you mean about that heart problemo crap. Scares me to think about it, really, because of my diabetes and all. But overall, I didn't lose it for anyone. Really, I was in a situation where I had TONS of time on my hands, and I spent it walking and NOT eating. It was as simple as that.
But the main thing is, you are right, I think it can be gross for people to see someone who weighs a bit much walking around in something that makes them just cringe. However, I seriously know how that feels as I was there (now, I only weighed 185 at my largest, which was WAAYYY too much on a 5'4" frame! The ass was too huge, man. ;P) But I didn't realise what I looked like until my twin came for a visit and she said something about how much of a "Mom" I had become. All stodgy and frumpy. And I looked in my closet and I was still wearing my maternity shorts and shirts and stuff, and realized how retarded I was!! Just a poor excuse of a woman wlaking around. So I slapped up my self image and bought some new stuff, and here I am!
I wish I could attach one of my photos, but I just am not able to for some reason. Not that technologically advanced! No big deal anyway- I honestly don't photograph too well!
