Hi
   I used to hit plateus. I learned in fat class what to do.  water,water,water, I hated regular exercise. So I take my dog on walks. We both enjoy it. Plus I'm 4 years out and still drink protein shakes. Now I'm to thin. I only weigh 104 pounds. So good luck you can do it.

Hi everyone, I wanted to check in and let you know that I'm doing fine and very happy with the results of my cosmetic surgery. My weight is a little higher then what I want but I still look good. ~smiling~ I was down to a size 4 and I looked too skinny but now I'm in an 8 and look like I have curves. I still fight with craving sugar but know what happens if I eat too much.  I hope everyone is doing great too! Terry

I am almost 4 years past my surgery - Oct 29, 2004 and within 10 pounds of the original weight I lost.  Feeling great!  Will check in again. Bye.

Wassup everybody?

Wow Sophia, You are carrying quite a mental load. Moving is a big stresser. Not to be discouraging but it take about two years to feel you be long in a new place. On a brighter and hopefully more helpful note, you are not a "bad" person for "falling off the wagon" as you say. You need comfort and support in this time of upheaval and you have fallen back into your old comfortable habits which we all do. But stop beating yourself up. If there is not a Support group in your area, consider visiting an AAA or ALANON meeting. Consider contacting hospitals/doctors offices in your area with WLS/OH info fliers and start a support group. It is Spring in NC (still snow here in Canada) get out and walk with your kids. Discover a new park every week. Meet you neighbors. Volunteer somewhere. There is no better way to get plugged into you community and make contacts. Contacts equal support, not WL support but you need more than just that. Do something for someone else even if you don't know them Get out of the house and out of the kitchen. Feed your soul. What about a church? If you have a church, get involved in a children's or womens ministry. You are a great person with a lot of love to offer! Our weight struggle is only a very small part of who we truly are. You've have WLS. You've lost 140 #. You have kids and haven't killed them yet. You have done amazing things. You can get past this. You are on my favorites list! LOLove, Laura
