Panic!

My two week diet begins on Monday and already I am begining to paic.  What will I do without my old comforting friend, food?  I read what you said to Misty, and try to calm myself but I don't think I can do this.

Help!

YES YOU CAN!!!!!  Think about how long you have waited for this.  You are ready.  And besides, if I can do it ANYONE can do it!!!! Hang in there.  We are here for you!

PS...miss seeing you.  Hopfully on the 17th?

of course you can do it.....you have waited and worked to get to this point....and you are going to let FOOD get the better of you AGAIN>????? NO  be determined , food is not your friend , say that all day long today,....food is not my friend , food is not my friend...it is the devils favorite tool to use against us....kick him to the curb...

we all love you and when it gets to the point in the first days that you think you are going to cave in...come get on the board...usually some one is here and can help....

KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE.....

NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS THIN FEELS..

I had to tell myself over and over THIS IS FOR MY LIVER. It is going to make my surgery easier for the doctor and recovery for me easier. That made it seem real for me. I can tell you it is hard to stick to but I did it and lost 15 pounds. I was inthe  recovery room and Dr H walked by and all he said was good job on the liver. That was my reward. After surgery you won't have the desire to eat so it does get easier. You will make it, just do what I did , I got on here and complained everytime I was tempted to eat. It worked for me.

Thanks for your support.  I have learned so much on this  board I am really gratefull for it and my friends here.  You'll probably be hearing me whine over the next two weeks, but I know that's OK, too.  Just  give me the kick in the butt I need and together we'll make it.

Hugs,

Deb C

Dear Deb,
Well, these lovely gals pretty much covered anything I would have said to you! LOL....But....I KNOW you CAN DO IT! Once you set your mind to it-you CAN do anything! The difference, honey, is that THIS TIME-the weight is NOT coming back! Once its gone, its gone-and sister, I am here to tell you, that EACH wow-from being able to tie your own shoes (speaking of me, of course) or not riding a cart at the store-to just wearing a sz 12-each wow moment-made that preop diet all worth it. I did it for 2 months-just to qualify for the RNY... You can do it for 2 weeks! You can!  So-do as these lovely fellow losers suggested-and keep your eyes on the prize- realize how long you have yearned for this dream-nothing tastes as good as thin feels AND....finally- IF he lead you to it- HE WILL get you through it! 

Deb, we are here for you! Dont worry about whining...the NO WHINING clause-is just for our children-LOL... Hop on here and let us know when you need a little extra support or nudge-ok?  Thats what we do!  Love ya girl and I will say extra prayers for you-for strength and peace of mind!  Love, Janet

Oh yeah you can do it .  plan to keep yourself busy and just drink your liquids stay busy if you have to go walk around and window shop all day or clean and clean and then clean again lol.  I f you are like me your cabnets always can use a good one or closets lol hopefully that isn't the case so then you can come clean mine I 'll save them for you.  Haha

Love ya Girl you can do it.
