FEARFUL AND EXCITED AT THE SAME TIME

Hello everyone I am new to this site and I have found the support a real blessing. I see Dr. Clark for the frist in Thursday. I am really trying to be brave I know it takes willpower and wanting to be healthly to be a real"loser". I do not have a lot of family support but I know I can do this. About 20 years ago I had breast reduction 187 stiches 8 hour surgery follow all dr orders was in pain for 3weeks but I made it . I didn't gain any weight their just every where else! I hope to make a lot of new friends via this site. I cannot keep just lying in bed all day and not being able to sleep. I really do have lots to live for. I hope I can count on support from any or everyone out there because I need you . Thanks again for being there.

Welcome to the site, and you have came to the right place for support. I am just 7 weeks out and have lost 50 lbs and loving every minute of being on the losing side. You are right it does take willpower and the determination to be healther. I have always been over weight and I had hit rock bottom, and decided to climb out from under that rock. I had health issues that play a factor in my decision, but my family also played a big part. I have a 2 year old grandson and I want to be able to take him to the park and chase him around, and to see him grown and any furture grandkids that I may have. I am lucky, I have alot of support from my family and friends, but even so. I look for support from people that is on the losing team like me. They understand more of what I am going through. If you need a friend or someone to just talk to, please feel free to email me at anytime. Peggy
