Very Discouraged.....

CARR,,, GIRL WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I am soo sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time, from the bottom of my heart I wish I had long distance I would call you right now. Your gonna be ok sweetie you gotta believe that. I know its hard, havent lost anything in i think a little over a week, and i know your saying OH PLEASE a week big deal,, but i have stopped and whether its a week or 6 weeks it all sucks... Everyone that has had this surgery ha**** plateaus(however you spell it lol) and Everyone comes out of them. You are always the one telling me to stay positive and just stop stressin and it will move, the more you stress the worse you make it on your body, and honestly I think everyone is right, maybe your not eating enough sweetie, your body may be in starvation mode and holding onto fat cause it thinks your starving it. I know how annoying it is to hear advice after advice when you have tried so much but please please please love of my life please dont give up hun,, PLEASE STAY POSITIVE. i love ya girl Michelle

THANKS EVERYONE! Your words mean alot. Carrie

Hang in there girl! We have all gone through these phases and when I do, I know that I get so discouraged and want to give up. And just when I reach the end of my rope, boom, the scale gods will smile upon me again. We can do this together!

I know this is hard but put the scale away! I was told this at my support group meeting and I tell you I feel much better about myself since doing so. You are then left to see how your body is changing not obessessing on the number on the scale. I only check once a month unless I just cant help myself, this has worked and I have been much happier once I check again. I also keep track of measurements approx once a month as well its amazing when you see the inches go down! Chin up girl next year this time you will wonder what the heck you were worried about! Cary
