I now know that it was normal the way I was feeling and that I was no the only one that had this same feelings it made feel doog to know that (I am ok I AM NORMAL : ) I have to get used of all this new changes specially the mentally challenge the cravings learnning to eat &drink slow and learn to know when to stop and what you feel when I am full all of this is new to me.. I have lost a total of 31pounds and I am so happy and proud of myself and all of us that made this tuff ad hard desicion we are strong and we all have each other that to support each other when we are in need and that is what a family does help each other, and I am happy to be part of this web site.

Gilda - you are doing great...As I keep telling you!!! I have to echo Gilda in that I don't think I would still be semi-sane if I had not found this website and some of the wonderful people on here. My husband is wonderful and bends over backwards to understand and help me - But - it really takes someone who has walked the path themselves to understand what we are going through!

Gilda, Congratulations on your weight loss! That is awesome. You have every right to be proud of yourself. This isn't an easy process. Luckily though, it seems to get easier every day. Keep up the good work! Shannon =)

Gilda.......Thanks for your encouragement and way to go on the 31 pounds woman...thats great!!!!!!!!!!!! And no we can't go out and have yummy ribeye steak, baked potato and salad....but in a year we can eat a bite or two of each of those things and we will be amazed that we can walk away without eating it all....and all of those Healthy Choice dinners-which were always too smalllllllll-they will be to big for us.........

I weighed myself on Tuesday Last week and was down 31 lbs too!!!!! What a great number! I have not weighed myself this week but will do soon!!!!!!!! It is wonderful to see the scale lower and lower~ WAHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats and this is the best thing I have ever done for MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS!

Gilda - Congratulations on your weight loss!!! You are doing a great job!!! Keep up the good work!! Jules
