Topic: New here
I have just been lurking and I've enjoyed all of your posting. My surgery was 8/10/04 and I'm at goal(138)and have been for three months. I feel great. My sugar is perfect with no medication. The only problem I have is I've traded one addiction(food) for another(shopping)That isn't really the problem. It's that I can't see myself as small. When I go into a store I head for the plus size clothes. When I try on pants I start with 12/14 then go down to 10/12, then down to 8/10. Then finally get to 6/8. I see someone and I think I sure wish I were her size. Then find out she out weighs me by 10-15 pounds. I don't know if I'll ever know what sizeI am
If that is my biggest problem I ever have then I'm living a charmed life. I feel like Cinderella at the ball. have enjoyed every minute of this journey. I have been blessed. Love, Mary

Topic: RE: Why do I focus on the negative????
Alecia, you look wonderful. Ditto what everyone else said about the low self esteem. When it's stressful at work, it's hard not to be negative. I know it sounds trite, but exercize really does help, even if we hate it. Hang in there! Best~barb

Leslie, you are such a sweetie! THE BEST cheerleader
, ever!!! I would like to lose 40 more, my surgeon says more like 25, we'll see. I know one thing, these last forty will be harder than the last 100. The last month or two have been slow and rough. 
Now is crunch time, we all can do it! ~best, barb -102
