BEYOND PITY PARTY

Reenie, these are the things I try to remember: 1. Bodies do go into a sort of starvation mode that 1st month or so. 2. You WILL continue to loose. There is no gaining even if its one pound a week or 2 or 5 you will be loosing! 3. In a year think of how much weight will be gone forever. 4. No more "diets" diet pills "diet miracles in a box" dont worry more will come off

Maureen - I think we all feel the way you are feeling today. I went to the doc today as well and I lost 30 lbs. When I called my family, the first words out of someones mouth was What you gained 20lbs??? (The first week I went I lost 30+, only because I didn't eat for 2+ weeks). That just about broke me, I have been super blue as well, heck when I was talking to the doctor I started to ball. He told me it is normal. That it will pass, I just hope soon as I can't take this crud. I think the idea of tailoring the meal to fit your needs sound great, since I live a lone and only eat with my kitties (who are not picky in the least) it would solve the problem of you not eating with your family. I say if you do the cooking then the cook can chose what they want. If they don't care for it, then I guess they can cook. Keep your chin up I am being told it does get better
