He he. It let me say the f-word.

You can do it, honey! You have the will power and the strength and the motivation to do it: to quit smoking, to eat right, to exercise, whatever. You just need to reach in there and find it! You know it's in there somewhere, because you've already lost 50 POUNDS!! I know you can do it, and even better than that I know you can do it with grace and humor :kiss:

p.s. tell your roomate that she better stop eating all your ****in' bacon! and that's from me ;)

Denita, I know how you feel. I feel the same way lately and I was tempted to give up. Let's not give up, we worth it ( do I sound like a l'Oreal commercial right now? :P ) The girl are right you'll be hot in a bikini! As for food, how inconsiderate, I hate when people think everything is theirs. Keep your chin up :love:

Denita, I hate a (bleepin) roommate, too! I had the very same thing happen to me when I had roommates, except I was the only one old enough to buy liquor and they drank it all while I was out of town! What idiots! Hang in there, girl! And don't give up! Don't be scared! What do you have to fear but lookin' sexy hot and having the ability to flaunt your achievements without hiding behind your old self? Work it, girl! You are :rock1:in'!

You're right, Denita. You're precious, you're worthy and you a deserve a long healthful and happy life! You CAN do it! Just hang in there through the rought times. You've got a whole slew of both old AND new friends right here ready to help. :) If you've gotta "go ethnic, go ethnic"! Do whatever YOU need to do to take care of yourself. Sounds as if the roommate is a sabateur with little regard for your possessions OR a sense of what you're trying to accomplish. What Cynthia said is very true. I lost 108 lbs. once and it was a very emotional time and I had no support to help me through it. You'll be okay, Denita. Lots of support here and lots of folks rootin' for you! :kiss: :love;

Denita, you can do it! :heart1: Of course, we are all sometimes tempted to go back to those old bad habits, but I never really consider it because I :love: my new clothes and I :love: feeling good and I :love: having more confidence. I would be VERY upset about the bacon, too. If those roommates are smart, they won't mess with your bacon again!

Girl! You are too (bleepin) cute to not wear a bathin suit!!! Hang on, it's a wild ride!!! And we're all here with you!:love: and :kiss:s

Denita,
Today is my first day on CK. Looking at your pics is very inspirational to me. Don't give up!

You got it right: YOU ARE TOO DAMN CUTE NOT TO WEAR YOUR BATHING SUIT THIS SUMMER. You are a warrior. You've won battles already - why would you give up the war? And as for the bacon? Maybe it's expensive (and you're right to be pissed off), but now it's not on your hips and not in a place to tempt you to paste it on your hips!! Bye bye bacon, hello cute bikini ... :love: :kiss:

You can do this. And continue to be honest with yourself even when you falter. Hang in there. When I lived with a lot of people i used to put the good stuff in a brown paper bag with a big sign on it with my name on it. Big Red letters. Take care and have courage.

Losing a lot of weight can be very hard emotionally. I went through that the first time I lost a lot of weight back in 1996 (from like 191 to 158). It was really hard for me when people commented about how "great" I looked, all I could think of was, 'Wtf was so bad about me before????' I dont really have any great advice for you, it's something you'll find a way to work through eventually (probably when the "Thin Denita" is old news and people aren't bringing it up all the time =D). But, you can do it, I know you can! :y:

Denita,

You HAVE come so far, you cannot turn back now. Perhaps you're afraid of losing your friends if you change too much???? Or perhaps you're afraid you won't know who YOU are???? Don't worry so much about what OTHER people expect of you. You only have to live up to your OWN expectations. And it's OK to stand up for yourself. And you can do this in a non-confrontational way. Even though you're furious over your roommates inconsiderateness in cooking your food, confront her in a calm and nice way and simply tell her that you are on a financial budget and you buy things like the maple bacon as a special treat for yourself. Tell them you're not trying to be stingy, but some things you buy just for you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that either. You have to take care of YOU in all ways. So first...take a really deep breath...exhale...and let the anger go. Now decide what you want to do about the situation and then do it. :) Just like you've done with your weight loss. Maybe spend some time reflecting on what you want out of life. See how your weight has or has not affected those things. Take time to learn who YOU are inside. And no matter what the outside looks like, you can always count on YOU.

Hang in there Denita!!! You are LOOKIN FINE!!! :)
