Cindy,

I would also love to participate in a support group and I live in Frederick.  Have you heard of one?  If we got enough interest, maybe we could start one? 

In Episode 19, we have a brand new contest for you, “I’ll have the support please and hold the flaming," and a great site for you Bandsters.

HIGHLIGHTS

* We have a new contest with our new sponsor
* We want your questions and you may just get some free stuff.
* Questions due by Midnight on March 20th..
* Reality is that sometimes forum support…can be a bit like a soap opera.
* Flaming on a support board….let’s not.
* We highlight a site for lap bandsters.

Come join the fun!!

I'm looking for a support group in the north area, specifically Longmont or Firestone areas.  We recently moved to Firestone and I've had many stressers this past year and need to get back on track.  My weightloss plateau'd early according to my surgeon.  I pretty much stopped losing at about 6 months.  Since then, I've gotten a new job, moved and most importantly, I lost my mother in September.  All I seem to want to do now is eat.  I've turned into a grazer,, and am gaining the weight to show it. 

I'd really like to correspond with some one who understands and has maybe gone through some of these same challenges.  How do you cope with the emotional eating, that I associate with my grief.  Moving has been and still is a huge challenge, something that I don't think is ever going to end and that is proving to be another stressor.

I'd like to hear from any of you who have ideas, or know of a local support group.

Thanks,
Cindy
