Poor me...boohoo....

I'm having a pity party...for myself. I am so bumbed out! I have been at 86 pounds lost and holding for almost a month. I want to reach that century mark so badly I can't hardly wait. I tried to stand about a week ago, and got my butt off the bed but could not push up to stand, its been so long ( 7years) I want it so bad that I dream about it!!! When I started this journey in Jan 2004, I weighed 550...by the time I had found a doctor and had surgery(12-04) I had got down to 459...now I am at 372, I am just feeling sorry for myself. I tell everyone that it doesn't bother me, but it really does. Am I being to emotional???? I want to get down below 350 so that I can have both knees replaced (no cartilage), and my right hip (no socket left) I just feel like cryin!!! I feel bad complaining to you all, I haven't been on the boards much lately...to depressed. Thanks for listening guys....

Julie, I'll come to your party. My scale finally went down a pound and a half this morning after almost a month stall, Praise God. You will get there Girl, keep the faith. God has gotten you this far, he'll take you the rest of the way. Let me just say that this is what we are all here for, to listen to each other vent. So you go on and vent we will hand you a tissue and let you know it's ok. Take care, Loni -86.5 lbs.

Loni, Thanks, I appreciate you saying that. I just get down sometimes. I am stuck here in this bed. I have alot of friends...but knowone ever visits me, GREAT... now I'm being selfish. I hate it when I get like this !!!!!!! Thanks again Loni for letting me sound off. AND for coming to my pity party Julie

I thank you for the invitation! I too have my own pity parties but I never seem to invite anyone. It seems so much more fun with others around! I am sorry to hear your dilema! I too feel the same way! I pray that you will be able to get up and get around soon. It sounds to me that you are right on track though! I don't know of any other way that you could lose that much weight in the same time. You will get there- just hang in there. I just have one question for you- Can I have a standing invite to all you parties? Maybe even a V.I.P. one? your sister in wls chandi 305/205/?

Oh Julie darlin', ((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))) I know it has to be hard to stuck in that bed. But just try to keep in mind all the positives. Your in the 300's now. And soon the 200's and so on. You truley are a beautiful woman and your doing great! And you don't have that much to go to get to that century club! As a fellow cyster (I have have PCOS too) you know we tend to loose a little slower than people without this lovely disease so chin up-your doing the best you can and there's nothing in the world wrong with that. And anytime you need a little pick-me-up-you know that we're all here for you-in this together! You'll get there sweetie! Jennifer

Loni, Chandi and Jennifer, Thanks you guys....I feel better this morning. I knew I could count on my OH pals to help me . You all are great, thanks!! Julie

Vent all you want. That's what we are here for. Your not alone my dear. I'm bouncing around between 201 and 204 for a couple of weeks. Give your body time and it will start to move again. I'm sorry your not able to stand and walk but in due time you'll get your replacments and be walking with the rest of us Hugs Donna

Thanks everyone! Every single one of you made me smile !!! I sure needed it. I am feeling better, I had a little talk with myself. I'm pretty blessed...a great hubby...two great daughters and special friends like you. Thanks again! hugs and kisses to you all Julie

We have come so far from were we started to now!! WOW moments!! We will all have days or even a month where we slow down. That is very normal. We all need to VENT!! LOL That is one of the many reasons I LOVE THESE BOARDS!! We are all in this together good days, bad days and even the pity parties!! You can post your pity party anytime girl!! Keep that beautiful smile shining!! Blessings Tonya
