Where are all the oldies but goodies?
Hi Lyn,
I'm here but don't post all that much. The newbies seem to have everything in control. What they are going through seems so long ago that I feel that they can help each other more than I can. I'm always here to cheer them on though.
I have been very busy with nursing school. Just started my 2nd quarter, the one that the staff claims "makes or breaks" the student & I can see why. I have been studying all day & am only half prepared for class tomorrow. I'm heading back to the basement to keep working as soon as I finish here & my coffee is done dripping through. I'm going to be learning how to give shots in a couple weeks & will get practiced on as well as practice on my fellow classmates. Yech! I better finish reading how to do it, right?
I know that Jesi is quite busy with her new job. I wrote her on her surgery anniversary in Dec (one day before Andrea's & mine) but haven't heard back. I've been hoping we'd hear from Andrea but she too, is probably really busy with her babies & her teaching job.
I have noticed that after a couple years there seems to be less participation. Janie & I saw that at our support group meeting last night. I think we were the only ones over 2 years out. I'm not sure the reason. Maybe it is no longer important or a concern. Life goes back to normal, you might say. Or, maybe for some it's shame; that they have gained back some of their pounds & went back to bad habits and don't want people to know. I have gained back some & I am ashamed. However, I know that if I hide that from others, I will keep on gaining. I need people to know that I am struggling. I think they need to know that it isn't an easy road, that they still have to work hard to get & keep the pounds off, especially if they start messing up.
Well, coffee is done & my books are calling.

Lyn,
I dont have internet at home anymore. I have been helping my family out alot lately. My sister has had 3 surgeries since August and one more left. My dad has been really sick this past year and he is getting ready to have surgery. My kids and I have been busy we go to church twice a week and we love it. I am still single and looking kind of.....I have lost over 200 lbs. I talked to Janet one day and she works over nights at her job so she is doing good. I really miss posting on here. In October my son got really sick and ended up in the hospital for a week and i had six kids before that. So i got really wore out and my blood levels were really messed up..So now i am working on getting my blood levels back up to where they belong. My tummy tuck went good and i am so glad i had the tummy tuck. I wish I didnt wait so long to get it done. well i got to get to work.....Lynda
I am still around and super busy too Busy is good, right?
Nursing school for me too, plus working full time in a medical office as a transcriptionist/receptionist/CNA (all of the above) plus my beagles keep me busy. I wish I could say things were going good weight wise but they arent.
I am a food addict, and until I have the time and am ready to commit to counseling for food addicts, this is where I will be. Lurking, eating, and wishing the best for everyone.
