I'm soooo there with all of you! It's frustrating and depressing. I have been at the same weight since around Thanksgiving. I suppose that's good in a way (since I didn't gain any weight over the holidays). I cannot seem to hit 100 pounds. I keep teetering at 97, 96, 98 - Uggghh! I've been walking but also snacking alot. I know I need to really get down to business but it gets harder and harder. It's scary because all these thought go through your head, like - what if I'm one of those people that the surgery will not completely work - what if I'm one of those people that stretch out their stomach - what if I'm one of those people that needs to have surgery again - what if, what if, what if... I am glad I read this post and saw I was not the only one out there stuck. Good luck to all of us that we can once again become losers. Becky

Dear Mo, Here's a really big hug from someone who's been there too. My ex was also chronically depressed, and while at the beginning I thought I was just what he needed, after a while (when I couldn't always be the strong one) the relationship twisted into a mutually destructive one. I never stopped loving him, but realized that I couldn't save his life and he was costing me mine. Worse, we were setting a terrible example for our son. We've been apart for almost three years now, still maintaining some contact because of our son. who lives with me. Though he hasn't contributed a cent to child support, my ex has just barely managed to support himself and has gained a tiny measure of self-respect. Your post is so perceptive about both sides of these issues. Thank goodness you have come to this understanding now, rather than another 8 years from now. Sometimes when you love 'em you've got to let them go .... I know it's hard but it really is the right thing, the only thing to do. Stay close to your family and friends over the coming months as you go through a grieving period for your relationship. Believe me that it does get brighter after the clouds part. Best to you, Donna
