Nirvana Fallacy

One issue I see with people wanting to lose weight is their unrealistic expectations. Come on people! This is not the fantasy land of TV where you lose 100 lbs in 5 weeks! Come on, they live in a gym, 6 hours a day and have chefs prepare their 100 calorie a day meals. The even have their own personal trainers who torture them daily!

My wife decided this week to rededicate herself to weight loss. She want to lose 50 lbs by years end. This is an aggressive plan. Losing 2 pounds a week for 25 weeks is not a cake walk. I'd love prayers and well wishes. One of the way I'll be supporting her is by counting my calories with MyFitnessPal . If you don't use a calorie tracking app and are looking to lose weight, I highly recommend it. If you do have it, please connect with me. My user name is Hamenopi . I'd love to encourage you on that platform. What more, I'm continuing my journey to from over 300 lbs to under 200 pounds . Currently I'm at 218.5 lbs. I'd love for you to motivate me past the finish line.
