Hi everyone! :)

Just wanted to say hello to all of you! i havent been able to really access the web at work i try not to sit when i get home... like to try to keep busy so havent been able to pop on in. dont have much time as hubby will be home soon and he is master of the computer anyways... i had a rough rough weekend. i havent stopped working out but man! i am so sick of trying to get the rest of my weight off. its very disturbing. ARGH!!! im gonna keep on goin though.. not much else i can do. try not to stress (too much!) 15 stupid pounds away from 200. grrr... middle of may and nothin. I have been workin out everyday at the gym and gardening and such i havent eaten THAT dag on much. sheesH! i never go over 1500 calories a day (normal days its around 1100) you would think i would loose. ah well i wont think about it too darn much. makes me all nutty trying to figure out why and how come. i wanted to answer all the posts here but dont have the time so wanted to say hi to everyone read all the posts ... its good to know that we have each other to lean on when we are struggling! dinka ... your post about the prejudice on wls and obese people is so true. there is one lady at work who wont even talk to me ... whatever... bitterness is only going to cause stress and more eating. i feel bad for them really i do. and i will never EVER believe that somoene who is morbidly obese is happy with themsleves... oh they could be fine and dandy with their "inner selves" but no way they would be happy carrying all that weight around it just plain ol hurts. cant tell me when they try to squeeze into a chair they HAVE to sit in and it cuts them into their legs that they are CHIPPER AND HAPPY about it and just fine with it. um no. no way i can believe it. acceptance and is one thing... liking it is another. i just say a little prayer for them and hope physically they heal. welp luv ya guys!!!
