Why is it...?

Why is it that people think just because you don't have "a lot" of weight to lose that it's easy? I've always had 20-30lbs I wanted to lose and it's been a battle for me for many years. I've been on and off WW for 3 years now and I'm finally sticking to the plan and losing weight.

I believe that successful weight loss is extremely hard for anyone, regardless of the amount you need to lose.

I know exactly where you are coming from. I need to lose about 20 lbs, but they are coming off soooooo slow!!!! I've seen a lot of people say that they have totally changed their eating habits b/c of ww.....but I've always been a picky and healthy eater....I think that's one problem area for me that I have to work extra hard at....b/c i've always been a healthy eater, it's even harder for me to lose weight. And a lot of people will add exercise in...however, I am very active....I take a step class three times a week, run 4 times a week, and lift weights 3 times a week. So I agree with you....it's not easy for everyone!!

I'm in the same boat! Most people are always telling me.. 'oh, you don't need to lose weight'... blah, blah. The thing is that I WANT to lose it for me.. to feel better! I too have always been a healthy eater and I do cardio about 5 times a week and lift weights 2-3 times a week. You would think that I would be super hot by now! haha.... I think my main problem is making sure I don't eat too much food! I may eat healthy, but even too much 'healthy' food can make you fat!

Me too! I've always eaten an exceptionally healthy diet & exercised far more than the average person. While I may not be truly "fat", with my lifestyle & hard work, I should look FABULOUS!! tongue.gif It's frustrating to still be struggling with my weight. :(

Try not to take it too personal. The people who are telling you that probably A: never had a weight problem or B: Are so overweight that they would love to be in your shoes right now.

It's not easy. No matter how much you have to lose. Everyone's weight loss journey is a very personal thing.
