Lettin' it all hang out!

Hey guys! It's time for me to come clean and tell all! (I shared with Sonya tonight) If you've seen my other posts, you know that I had my surgery 4/01/04 and I stopped at 60 lbs lost! I'm trying not to get down about that, but it's really sickening!! I didn't know about this message board or any other local support so I was on my own and went back to my stressful life and back to my old habits (little by little trying things and eating what I shouldn't). I got back on the bandwagon 2 weeks ago (started using this message board and started walking w/my bud Sonya) I am currently at 245.5lbs!! (There it is, I said it!!!) What is good about that is that is 6 lbs less than it was a week ago and 11 lbs less than 2 weeks ago!! Please pray with/for me that I will stick with it!! I want to be less than 200 by Christmas! I will have another trying time tomorrow! I will be facilitating a training session on the coast where we give candy for prizes and have lunch w/deserts. I think I will be okay, but I am a little concerned b/c in the past, I grazed and ate whatever all day long. We have plenty of water and I'm taking my protein bars for snacks.

Hey we all mess up. I am glad that I found this message board before I have surgery or I could make the same mistake. Thanks for coming clean. It is wonderful how being truthful will help you get back on the program. Good luck and I hope that you make the 200 or less by Christmas. Stephanie in Marion, Ms

Hey Joy - just wanted to tell you how glad I am that you have started walking with Sonya. I have not had surgery yet, but have learned so much from the wonderful friends I have found on this board . You will definately find encouragement, support, and true friendship here. Good luck today with your training session! Marci

11 lbs in two weeks!!! I'd say you are definitely back on track!!! I am so proud of you! And all that walking!!! Girl, you are an inspiriation!!! I would be very please if I currently weighed 245.5 lbs.....It's still a long, long way off for me!!! You are doing great! Smoochies Arlies

WOW!!!!!! You are doing GREAT!!!! (Go Joy ) I will pray for you today with what you are facing. I know you can do it I know you have the will power and strength!!! You are doing so good. 11 pounds in 2 weeks... that is so fab. Keep it up. It takes about a month for something to become routine, so hang in there... it will get easier everyday!! Congrats and Hugs, Connie

Thank you guys so much! It was embarassing to say that! I made it through the day and I didn't eat anything sweet! BUT I did eat too much! (Really tired and overwhelmed right now!) Thank you so much for your encouragement! I will try and get back on track again tomorrow! JY
