“More to Lose?”

PinExt More to Lose?

headshot 150x150 More to Lose?If you are a More to Lose T-Tapper, can I give you a high-five and then a hug?  A high-five for making the effort to move your body and improve your health.  A hug for encouragement on the long road to your goal.  I've said before that the challenge as a More to Lose person is the tendency to focus on how far you have to go, rather than how far you've come.  For me,  just getting out of the recliner and lacing up my shoes was a big change in habits, lifestyle and mindset.  Along the way I often had to take myself (and my thoughts) in hand to avoid wallowing in discouragement and impatience.

I wanted to reach my goal NOW.  But I knew I hadn't gotten in that shape overnight and I wasn't going to get out of it overnight either.  It takes a special brand of hope and perseverance to lose a large amount of weight and inches, but it is entirely doable one day at a time.  I kept myself motivated and encouraged by taking advantage of the support and friendship available on the T-Tapp forums, plus a healthy dose of reading success stories.    I had days of feeling like it would take forever (and now that I'm here it seems like it was quick). 

I have lived as a Less to Lose person for over two years now.  It took me a long time to call myself that.  It took me a long time for my mind to adjust to my smaller size and yes, sometimes I still feel fat.  I still have a hard time being in photos and videos, but I'm working on that.

I have a special respect and empathy for More to Lose T-Tappers because I lived it for many years.  You're in the right place with the right workout to feel better and change your life, and I salute you.  Lace up your shoes and push *play*!

    Can I just say to all, HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU ?

    Well, it’s too late, it is done!

    LOVE YA and thank you for sharing that much, for being such a great role model to a WHOLE group of people who feels what you felt or still do.

    Thank you for not trying to say things that would sell but would not represent who you are!

    «mouahh» from your friend in Quebec,
