First thanks to everyone for your nice posts

I was 466 lbs and I came down with a terrible yeast rash under my stomach.It felt like a paper cut from one hip to the other. I had lost and gained 100's of pounds before but this time I wanted it to be a one way street.So I really looked at what I had done in the past and I was really honest with myself.

At 466 lbs I wasnt going to exercise 7 days a week. I knew myself if I made grand announcements, I would do it for awhile and then miss a day then it was fuck it.In fact I didnt start to exercise til I hit 140 lbs lost. Just losing the weight put me in much better shape.
Also I couldnt be the same person when I was done with this. If someone has more than 75 lbs to lose. Its not about food its about emotions before something bothered me I smiled and then ate a pizza. I confront things now and being liked isnt the most important thing in the world.
I looked at trigger foods, foods that when I ate them gave me an empty pit never full feeling and will never ate them again. I see them as poison, so it doesn't matter whats being eaten in front of because if its crap. I really see it as poison. So no sugar, ice cream ,cake and starches. Fruit is ok but I have to watch when I eat like first thing in the morning brings that empty pit feeling so I don't it. Also I dont eat wanna be ice cream,cake etc. Thin tastes better.
No surgery, in fact after the first 30 days its been pretty easy because I decided what I really wanted. Most people don't do that, they think they have but they haven't and that's why the weight comes and goes.
For exercise I do russian kettlebell training, it works for me quick, intense done.
