Why must it be 50 pounds? Maintaining a 15 pound weight loss is also
difficult. I am currently trying to lose 6 pounds that I gained over
the holidays. I should be able to do it following McDougall's Program
as unlined in his first book. I have never been that much
overweight. I have been called obese by health practitioner, been
told by family members that I would be such a pretty girl if I lost
weight, and been called fat by total strangers while walking to the
store.
I was put on a high fiber diet for other health problems. I am
learning to accept that I don't have to weigh 115 pounds. One should
be able to be happy at any weight and no judged by others only by
weight.

I am not critizing anyone for trying to lose weight. I am only saying
that we need to be happy with ourselves at any weight.
