I've been MIA for awhile ...

Hi Babe! I'm right there with you so don't feel alone! I haven't posted in forever and I have had a bit of regain as well. It really upsets me and yet I dont' do that much to overcome it. Know that you aren't alone. I am on facebook too. Andrea Platt Studnitzer, Hugs, ANDI 

Hi Everyone,

I have also been MIA for quite some time. You may or may not remember me...but I remember many of you. I am doing very well with my surgery. I have been fairly stable weight wise. However, I attribute that to stress and plastic surgery. Last September, I had phase 3 of PS, a butt lift, it was a tough road but it did come out well. My job has been very stressful, I accepted a promotion and am now stepping down after 18 months. My new boss is just not an easy person to please and I am tired of trying. That is a long story....made short!! The weird thing is that stress used to make me eat....not so much now. I have a glass or two of wine....new for me....but it totally relaxes me and for now it is my stress reliever.

This weekend is my 3 year anniversary and I am so happy I made this choice. Three years ago, I would have told you different but when I fit into a size 8 or 10 pair of pants/shorts, I know I have made the decision that was the right one. Just this past week...two people have told me how pretty I was (other then my husband, who I swear signed a contract to say that!!). I can honestly tell you that I have never, ever had anyone call me pretty.  What  a compliment.

My weight history is:
Starting: 263
Now:      157
Goal:      140
Lowest: 153

If I consistently exercised, I may make it to my goal. But I find it difficult to make the committment to go to the gym.  Maybe with my new job, it will be easier to make that goal a reality.

I want to wish everyone a happy Surgiversity!! I know we all kind of struggle with the same issues and maybe together, we can work through the tough times.

Good luck to you.
