The scale is moving again.........LONG
(((Carol)))
I love the Avatar......Brody is soooo cute......I can't wait to see the little guy again.....
I know there are a few of us struggling, and I just wanted you all to know, were here for each other........Not only for in the good times, but also in the rough times...........
I'm glad you talked to your Theripst......They usually can help in some way......And you know what? It took years of gaining & being Fat, It will take us years to loose it and keep it off........I know myself I feel so much better........And if I didn't loose anymore that would be okay, But if I could loose more I know it would help my Drive and keep me on track better......
I'm glad my post came at a good time for you.......I was hoping that it may help someone else......Knowing I'm not ALONE in this daily WL battle helps me too.....You start to feel like a failure.......Ya know? But were not failure's, were human.......And just need to be accountable to ourselves.....No one else can be......We have to do it for ourselves......I think that's where self love comes into effect to, at least for me.
Teacher? OMG.....
Thank you though.......I need to be a better one.......Thank you so much Carol.....With everything you've been through, I'm proud of you too........You could have just ate yourself silly and gained back alot of weight.......But you have done a good job surviving.........And that's all you can ask yourself........You look good, and you look healthy.......And that's what WLS is about, being Healthy........
I will keep trying, I'm shooting for that 90 pounds........The drive I have lately is unbelieveable.........I'm actually going to go play Raquetball with a friend Monday night, haven't played for 22+ years.......
I'm very excited though........
Keep plugging along Carol......One day at a time......
I went shopping this week at Walmart and found some high in protein and delicious tasting frozen foods. I can PM them to ya if you want?
Love ya, Kelly

Kelly - congratulations! I am glad to hear that the sage advice others gave to you is working for you, that is always so wonderful to hear!!
I have heard it said many times on these boards that one needs to get out of "starvation" mode (like we used to when we dieted) and increase caloric intake to lose. Isn't it amazing how that works?
Again, congrats!!! I know you've been frustrated about this for a while, so it's awesome to hear.

Patti,
Yep, I'm pumped again.....To see that scale go down again and by eating more, Well that's just a gift..........I'm really going to shoot for that 90 pounds by 9 months......It's possible.........I'll keep you all posted if it happens........
I tell you, It would make my day, my year.........

Good for you! Hard for me to make sense of why adding calories sometimes is what our bodies need to lose more, but I know that's the case when we get too low. That's a great downward move on the scale, keep up the good work! The DRIVE is what you need, glad it's back for ya!
