Topic: RE: Ok guys...I need MAJOR :h...
Well first of all, congratulations on all of the weight loss!!!
As I'm sure you've heard... this surgery is a tool, not a solution... the important thing is you're conscious of the mistakes you've made today... that's the 1st step. The next step is to get down right mean with yourself... while we all make mistakes from time to time, the important thing is to STOP yourself as soon as possible!!!
Try to stop and think about WHY you had the surgery in the 1st place, how much better you feel since having the surgery, how great you look, how many compliments you've received, and how no matter what, you DON'T want to fail... Then try to repeat to yourself "NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS THIN FEELS" over and over until you believe it.
Remember, we have a pretty limited time that the surgery will help us, after that, it's all entirely up to us and our will power. Believe me, I'm not trying to get down on you... I've been there before, and this is what's worked for me... sometime you just have to be a hard a$$ with yourself.
Maybe think about what you'd tell one of us who had done the same thing... and remember this, every day is a new one, so just because you've slipped a little, there's time to pick yourself back up and get back on the wagon, so to speak.
Lots of love,
Dawn

Sheila,
You're doing absolutely wonderfully and looking awesome! Don't forget, most people continue losing weight for the 1st 18 months, so that's plenty of time to get under 200... and don't you feel so much better already? Keep up the good work! You're amazing!
Lots of love,
Dawn

Topic: New Photos!!!
Hey Everyone!
I hope you're all having a great weekend. I just got a confirmation that my new pictures have been posted on my webpage... go and check them out!! I can't believe the difference when I see them side-by-side... unbelievable!
The new picture when I post a message is of me and my son, Bailey... he's 28 months old!
Everything's going well for me... I'm now 8 weeks pregnant and haven't gained a pound (mostly due to morning sickness). Baby's healthy, according to the ultrasound, and I'm meeting with a dietician who's familiar with WLS and pregnancy so I know exactly what I can/can't do.
ANyways, if you get a chance, take a look at my profile to see my changes... that's 107 pound weightloss (from 257->150)... I'm wearing a size medium and a size 8! From a size 24! I can't believe how wonderful it feels!
Lots of love,
Dawn
Topic: RE: I've been nipped and tucked.
Congrats, we had surgery the same day. My surgeon will not release me for plastic till one year out. But I have my consult July 6th, and probably surgery in October according to the surgeons schedule. How much did they remove. I wanna see pics girl, share please!

I am now done with the knife.
I had my breast reduction and tummy tuck on 06/15/05. I must say, I look GOOD. I feel like somebody used me for a kick ball but, every day gets better. Look out world. Here I come.

You're right forgiveness is the key. I have thin friends who binge on occassion....but they don't do it everyday. They accept what they've done, and move on to a better tomorrow ;) We're not perfect thats for sure...

Judy...
Thanks so much for the input. Yes, it seems to be one day a month or so that I do this. Funny thing is that I've lost 8 lbs since that episode a few days ago...go figure. I did however, jump right back on track the very next day. My doctor said I may have needed the calories to jump start my weight loss...may have been in starvation mode. He said the same thing...when this happens try to stick to the nuts, cheese, meat...etc.
Thanks so much for your kind words...I really appreciate it.
