Sometimes it's hard to accept something as a reality, even if you know it's true.

In my case, I didn't really concern myself that much with my extra weight, until I noticed that after dropping about 30 pounds (from my heaviest-ever weight), my recently-developed arthritis-like pain in my hands went away. That's what it took to make it real, for me. I'm still too fat, but I'll never be that fat again.
