[Lost Dog]

I've been chubby to fat for most of my life. I always thought that I'd have it easy with women if I only lost the weight. So, that was always the primary motivation for losing weight. But, down deep, I knew that wasn't going to make things with women all that easy. So, subconsciously, I'd set myself up to fail.

I knew that I was shy and still wouldn't be able to easily approach women, so I'd give up and go back to my old ways.

It wasn't until I decided to be fit for me (health, long life, example for the kids, etc.) that I just did it.

After that, it was no problem, at least on the mental side of things. Hunger sucks, but having a goal that was true to what I really needed, got me through the pangs.

Back on CalorieKing, people would ask me my secret to never binging, never blowing things, and keeping things on track. I had no answer back then, but this thread just showed it to me.
