We are not a statistic

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I hate reading this weight loss statistic: <strong>over 95% of people gain back the weight that they've lost.</strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I see this statistic everywhere this time of year, in people's blogs, on the Internet, in the e-newsletters I get from various weight loss groups. Even my Weight Watcher leader mentioned it last week. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Everyone quotes this statistic, but I can't find the research to back it up. I just spent 20 minutes Googling it, and although I found the statistic everywhere, I can't find out where it's coming from. My guess is that some research group did some sort of study and came up with it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This statistic infuriates me for many reasons. First of all, I want to know how they did the research. How did they come up with this number?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Maybe they checked with Diet Center, where I lost 40 pounds in 1978 and quickly gained it all back. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Maybe they checked with NutriSystem and saw in 1992 I lost 50 pounds, and re-gained it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Did Jenny Craig tell them about the 70 pounds I lost on their plan in 1995 and regained the 70 pounds plus an additional 20 pounds in 1996 (putting me over 200 pounds for the first time in my life)? </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Or was it my doctor that told them about the 110 pounds I lost with PhenFen in 1997 and then regained it all in eight months?  </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Did Weight Watchers squeal on me, telling them about my first two attempts on their plan, where I lost 30 pounds and then lost 70 pounds, and gained it all back.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm not a poster child for weight loss, and maybe in the past I've been part of the 95% that lost the weight and gained it back again. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">On the other hand, I have manage to keep off a chunk of weight for over a year. I was 174 August 8, 2008. I'm 173 today, and I'm on my way back down. That's a 66-pound loss kept off for 17 months. Maybe I'm not a total success (still not at goal), but I'm not a failure either.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Secondly, I don't like hearing this 95% statistic because I think it hurts people more than it helps them. It gives people a feeling of hopelessness, of why should I even try if I only have a 5% chance of winning this battle? </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I know that feeling because that's exactly how I use to feel. During dark moments I would take that statistic and think I was absolutely doomed. There was no way I could do this if 95% of people couldn't do it either. That is a myth. Of course I can do this.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So why should you keep trying to lose weight when the odds are stacked against you?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>1.) I'm not sure that 95% is even a real statistic. Where did it come from? Let's say it was true five years ago, why would it still be true today? </strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>We're smarter now, we have more healthy food options. Weight Watchers is better than it was five years ago. We know how to do this and make it work. We can make it a permanent change. </strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>There are hundreds of bloggers now that can help us and support us through this journey.</strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>It's not the same world it was five years ago.</strong></span><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2.) Do you really have the option of not trying to lose weight? Imagine if you just totally gave up on losing weight. Where would you be in a year? In five years? Not a pretty picture is it?</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I know where I'd be in five years if I gave up on trying to lose weight. I'd either be dead or in a wheelchair or trying to be a contestant on the Biggest Loser or signed up for weight loss surgery. None of those options appeal to me.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Don't let this statistic define you. If it's true (and I really doubt it is), fight it. Beat the odds. Why can't you be in the five percent that keeps the weight off forever?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Better yet, what if we all joined together and really do this, maybe we can increase that 5% statistic to 10% or 20% or 30% or maybe even 100% of the people that lose weight do NOT gain back the weight they lost. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We can't change history, but we can sure change the future.</span>
