Does it make you feel better when you are out shopping, out to eat, or doing whatever it is that you do, and you see people who are much worse off than you in the weight department?  For me, it does at times.  Just like any other thing in life, I think you can see that there is always someone worse off than yourself in any aspect.  Maybe that is a bad way to look at things, but if it gives you some perspective, I think it’s okay.  Sure you need to always do what you can to keep yourself up. 

I think when you let yourself go in any area, it can get overwhelming, and can make just about any person want to give up.  Whether it be in weight, in getting up and getting ready for the day, or letting the clutter in your house take over and make it disasterous.  I have seen far too many people that I believe that has happened to.  As I stop and think about it, it  seems that if someone has weight issues, that a lot of times all other areas in their lives tend to be a mess.  If you pick just one thing to start out with to improve oni your life, the other things will generally follow in suit.  If it makes you feel better, look at what other lot in life someone has been give, and be glad for what you have.  Then from there just try to improve yourself.
