HI Judy!!!!!

It was so good to hear from you!!!
We all were fighting the weight battle before and now are fighting it again. But its alittle different now becasue we know what we are missing. We did lose weight we can lose it again.
Its a bigger battle now I think.
Our depression hits us stronger becaseu we know what we are missing.
But that is a key to helping us. We need to remember how it felt to be thinner it will help us be stronger.
We need to remember how we got thinner. Not so much the surgery but that we didn't eat as much food.
Our surgery was wonderful. It helped us. I remember they told us that its a life long battle and that after a while we need to use the smaller stomach as a tool that we'd be able to eat more and things that we couldn't before. thats where all of these different tools can help us,
its so hard,. i know,
I fight it every single day.
i hate that sometimes my head has become the fat voice. it says to me O just today then tomorrow i'll get back with it. I never thought that before.
How do we make it stop?
We know how to make it stop. We need to just stop.
its the hardest thing in the world to do but thats the biggest thing.

So today i'm going to work at stopping.
today when i go to eat something and say O just today i'll have this tomorrow i'll stop. I'll say to myself. NO toDAY I STOP!
it will help my tomorrow.
good luck judy and god bless. let me know  how you've made out if you've made you stop today. see you on facebook!

Hello to all, so good to see you all on here. I am still fighting the battle of the fat monster! I will for the rest of my life. I feel sorry for myself and am depressed , but life goes on. I still work and that keeps me getting up in the morning!  I think about retireing all the time. I will be 63 in Feb. but I have to have a reason to get up! I've been out of work all week for Thanksgiving and I have not done anything  excep****ch tv and play on the computer. Charles did take me out to dinner yesterday at Cracker Barrell. I love you all and hope to hear form you again.

God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. Today is very imporant, because I'm exchaning a day of my life for it.

Dear friends, so glad to pop in to find some activity! Pam, hearty congrats on your new grandbaby. How wonderful for you. I love your ***** and your spirit - and your determination not to compromise that in a relationship! He's lucky to have you. Kim, so good to hear you continue to do so well. You are an inspiration, as always. Margo, what a nice surprise to see your post! I'm so sorry about Michael - living through all that life can throw at you, the good and the bad of it, continues to be my challenge as well. I grew up in Michigan, where did you land? It's good to connect again after so much time. My struggles continue and I have reconciled to the fact that my head will never be free of the demons that reside there; so rather than trying to slay those dragons, I have committed to lulling them to sleep every day. They are a part of me - and if I am to truly learn to love myself, I must learn to love my demons as well. As such, I will take care of them rather than trying to beat them down. The starting point for me in this journey has always been my mind, how I think of myself, how I feel about myself in the context of this big vast world. My problems are miniscule compared to what others deal with, every day. But if I can't take care of me I don't hold a ghost of a chance to take care of anyone else. Or to be a healthy participant in our society. So today, the dragons are sleeping. Tomorrow they may be breathing fire once again aimed at my soul, but I will wrestle with that tomorrow. You all remain forever in my heart. Be well, friends. Maureen
Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.

today I had smiled because i came to our marchers page and found 2 people *****plyed!

sorry to hear that things are not going good margo but your right you are a survior and wll come out on top. I've been divorced for many years now. I was enaged 5 years ago but don't know if it was fears or good sense but i broke that off. I'm dating a great guy now for almost 3 years. will i marry? no not planning on it. won't live with anyone either. i'm too independant now and enjoy being the one in charge of my life.

i check in now and then. i always thought that our marchers would continue that we would be the ones who would always be checking in maybe not every day but more than once a year.
 

sometimes we don't always have something to say. but it snice to know that someone out there is listneing!
