Back to lurking...

Penelope, don't stop contributing. Your input is important. Sure you can tell it like it is sometimes, but I know you are ten times harder on yourself. For some people, that is exactly what they need to get back on track. Personally, I respond better to the pep talk approach, but that is not why i didn't respond...I intended to go back and send you a snarky reply but then just forgot about it. If I was offended I would have sent you a PM....and you were right, I do know better.

I dont usually respond to posts.  I typically Lurk I guess.. LOL.  I sometimes post things just because it feels good to post my fustrations somewhere.  I take no responses good or bad.  We are all here for a reason.  Some for support, others for direction.  I think we all need to remember that we are here for a reason.  We are all suffering from Obestiy.  This surgery weither it be lap band, or what ever, It is a personal decision.  No one can judge, critize, or belittle anyone's choices. 
Everyone here is beautiful.  We are all struggling and we all need support. 
Please keep posting your successes and struggles.  It reminds others that we are not alone in the battle... REmember...as my friend tells me..
YOU ARE A ROCK STAR!
