Thank You for your reponses to "Can I be Honest"

To All of Mayers, I just wanted to take a moment and say Thank You so much for all of your words of encouragement, prayers, and support to my post "Can I be honest". To say that you have made my week is an understatement. I had kept all that inside for so long I felt like I was going to go crazy. I will start back going to my support group meetings and I plan on finding a buddy as soon as possible. I felt like my nutritionist and surgeon were not supporting me but how can they help me if I don't tell them what is going on. In some way I felt like they should just know what is wrong with me and help me to fix it. Yes they did hurt my feelings back in August when we did not agree on what scale was correct and how much weight I had lost. When all I had to do was go by what my scale said at home to track it, but no that was too easy, I wanted to show them and started this self destruct mode that I go into when I feel like I have been done wrong. In the long run all I did was hurt myself. I have an appointment on December 22 and I am sure it will not be pretty, but I am willing to take the tongue lashing that I am sure I will get like the woman that I know I am and keep on going. My objective is to stay positive and focused in my next six months of my journey. I am taking it one day at a time literally, I got my supplements in and my water along with a protein drink, had a salad for lunch and dinner, and a bag of 100 calorie popcorn for a snack yesterday, I didn't get to exercise though, I will definitly get on the treadmill or gazelle today. Again thank you to everyone once again that responded to my original post. Please keep me lifted up in your prayers. Andrea

Andrea, Good for you for getting back on track! You can do this! Keep your chin up and git 'r done! I think now that you have realized (as you mentioned in your other post) that this surg will not work without effort, you will do better! Take care! Hugs, Stef

Andrea, I'm willing to do a "check in" email with you each day, where we hold each other accountable to our eating and exercise plans. If you are interested. [email protected] Lori 384/268.5/170
