Hi Hazel, I haven't heard from her either. I hope she is doing well. Mona

North Platte support group is a dynemite support group.  I have gone a time or two and would like to stop in again.  It will be a good support system for you.

Thanks Barb - that's encouraging!

I have had asthma since I was a kid, but didn't have any promblems with it during or after surgery.

Good luck!!!

Barb

Barb,  like said before, don't beat yourself up...LIFE is LIFE....hey you have already been sucessful, a bump in the road is just that, a bump. 

I spent yesterday carbing out and well, I paid dearly for it all night, didn't sleep well, had severe gut ache and gas (I'm one of the lucky or unlucky however you want to look at it who suffers for having carbs esspecially sugar and white flour). 

Today I got up threw some ribs in the crock pot for my protein fix  for the next few days (rest of family hates them so I know they are ALLL mine!) and had a nice bowl of bean and bacon soup (high fiber, protein and warm).  The rest of the day I will be fixing my "problem" with carbs yesterday.  

Life goes on, we are normal, and I'll guarantee even though who don't or haven't fought the weight monster have had bad carb days/ or bad food choices, and I will also guarantee that they don't beat themselves up they just start the next day making better choices.  

I will be making better choices for the rest of the week, cuz man oh man am I STILL paying for the bad choices of yesterday!  

Pick out your fav meat and throw into the crock pot for picking at during the day....and some veggies with dip and you have your HEALTHY choice snacks for a few days or a week ....just move on, don't blame cuz it wont' get you anywhere, just set up a new day, a new hour or a new minute and move on! 

Hang in there, those 50 lbs will be gone in no time...:)  

(oh, and I chew some SF gum if the sweet monster decides to hit me most days...helps a lot, even if I get the non-hungry munchies too...you know the old habit of chewing something all the time dies hard, and is a bad habbit, this way I'm chewing and not paying the price not being hungry but still eating)

HUGS!
