Starting over....kind of...P.E.W.!!!

Hi Shelly! You are less than a month ahead of me. (10/10/03) are you a lightweight? (lower starting weight?) Like I told Cheri, the more the merrier! I need to be held more accountable for my actions. Guess you all will be my new babysitters. We will get thru this together. Elizabeth

I started this process at 306lbs, if you call that a lightweight? I personally wasn't light by all means, but I am 5'11. I think a lot of my problem lately has been stress. My brother-in-law is going through a really nasty divorce and his ex-wife has been threatning all of us. She abused him and is using their kids as a bargaining tool. Not a good situation at all. And when I'm stressed I grab for anything easy to eat. A definate . Today went really well though and I got all my liquids in so I am glad about that. Without this website I don't know what I would do. We will all make this journey together. Shelly

Boy, that sounds loke LOTS of fun! NOT!!! I know what you mean about the stress though. My Mom had open heart surgery in April and I think this all really started then. We will break this stupid plateau together! Elizabeth

Elizabeth, What a good idea. I would join you, but the walking has been working for me so far. I need to clean out the cupboards from camping though. Got some chips and things - sent most home with others, but I did eat some of them. Also, remember that you have been under a lot of stress. That makes a difference. Now focus on you!! You can do this! God bless, Andrea
