Any other comments you want to add about your journey: This has been an amazing journey so far and I wouldn't trade it in for all the money in the world. This surgery has opened so much for me and I'm so grateful that I've had it done. Now, I have had some issues over the last month that have come to surface. I have been snacking far too often and was self sabotaging my weight loss. But with the wonderful friends that I have made here on OH I have realized that the reason that I was afraid of getting thin was that I'm now feeling vulnerable and not worthy. But with some positive self talk everyday and a determination to have some self defense training I'm working on overcoming this. I am worthy of this weight loss, I am worthy of being happy, healthy, sexy and thin.

I am soo excited to be at this size and I want to be smaller, but I haven't lost really anything since Jan. , but then I guess I really can't expect to when I've fallen off the wagon. I have unfortunately found out that sugar does not bother me and I can pretty much eat what I want. I'm trying to figure out a way to get my head out of my *** and start doing what I'm supposed to again.....any suggestions? Natalie
Topic: RE: Why do I focus on the negative????
Hello Alicia,
I relate to you. I have lost 160 lbs. so far and you would think that would be enough to turn my attitude around, right? All, I do is tell people how much I have to loose. It is a lot and I should not focus on that but the success. It is from years of negative thinking on my part. I keep working on it and I hope you do too. We are the one's that suffer. We will get better. We can pray for eachother. Hope you have a great day! Thanks for the post that hit home for me. Bye. Barb

Any other comments you want to add about your journey: I am so happy I decided to do this. I just hate I waited so long to do it. I feel great and feel much better about myself. I can not imagine how I will feel when I reach my goal. The only problems I have is I still want the high carb/starchy foods but after a few bites it does not settle well with me and I ask myself why I even ate it to start with. And of course, I have a problem getting in all my exercise and water.

Topic: RE: Hello Everyone!
Hey there,
I wanted to put my stats in here as well. I am 8mos out as of today and have lost 80lbs. I started at 281 and it seems like it has taken forever to lose those pounds but I have been working out like crazy. I take a salsaexercise class on Mondays, and walk 2 miles a day plus weights and eliptical. I stalled out big time when I started all this but increased my protien and water and the weight is starting to come off again. My inches have gone down. I must measure when the weight doesn't come off so I know I am still going in the right direction. I am proud of myself for changing my lifestyle habits.. I have 50 to go for my personal goal and 30 for the dr. I am enjoying every day of it. Keep up the great work everyone.
