This is my favorite board to post to... though it makes me sad that we aren't around as much as we used to be.

It seems like... from all of our posts I just read... that we are slipping!  How many of us said when we first started this whole process that we would not become another statistic?!  We were so excited when we saw those pounds melt off.  We even secretly felt happy when those around us said we took the easy way out - because we knew that they were jealous. 

Now I feel like I'm failing.  I started at 298 and was down to 178.  Now... I stand on the scale and the number 208 is staring back at me.  This isn't where I want to be... I wasn't afraid to have my stomach surgically altered... it wasn't too much to go through insurance appeals and physciological evaluations... So... why is it too much for me now to take care of myself and eat healthy...

It's so easy to say tomorrow is a new day and I'm going to start over then... but thats what I'm doing.  I want this to work... I don't want to be a statistic... I just want to hit my goal!
