Losing Edge...?

Why can't we lose weight just as fast as we gain it!?

I'm trying to be realistic in my goals but its easier said than done. My mind wants to see a different body and be miles ahead of my pace but deep down I know its unrealistic and too much to ask. But I'm sure I'm not alone in this, am I? Doesn't everyone wish you can lose a dress size for every day you work out!? Why is that too much to ask!!!???

Don't we all have a guilty pleasure watching Hoarders and feeling better about your clean, "organized" home? So why can't it be the same in a workout DVD!? I'm not saying to have morbidly obese models, but why not have normal "unfit", "unhealthy" models that are looking for a change just like me!? So maybe for once I don't find myself comparing my jiggly thighs to these rock hard fitness models!

Its easy for others to say "keep going" "your doing great" "its ok to take a break" because your heart rate is just starting to spark up, while I'm huffing and puffing on the floor having a heart attack. Most of these fitness models have never had 20, 30, 40lbs extra weight to carry around. Maybe this is where my lack of confidence is steaming from. I'm just saying, if someone like me who isn't fit to begin with isn't expected to go as hard why am I expected to push myself harder by looking at these fitness guru bodies that are unrealistic for me!?
