The Wheels are Falling off
Hi Kenny!
Nice to meet you! I am fairly new here and waiting for my surgery date. This site is excellent for support so you came to the right place.
I am sorry to hear your marriage is coming to an end, but if you can make a huge decision like that and have the courage to do it, you can and will get back on track with losing the weight you want to.
I don't know what kind of marriage problems you had but maybe you should find a fellow bandster to date and the two of you could help each other!! (just a thought....lol). By looking at your pics your a very handsome guy and I am sure you would not have any problems finding a woman to love.
BE STRONG!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!
Keep us posted sweeetie!!

Awwww, man! I am sorry you are going through this, Kenny! But hopefully there is a light at the end of this tunnel, with less stress and a brighter future for you. You are positive and pro-active, and already know what you're doing wrong, what your triggers are, and where to find support. SOunds to me like you're back on the path! Glad to "meet" you in cyberland and wishing you the best!
Hehehehe...embarrssed little grin...it's there, but in my profile Kenny. I have had a long history with wt. loss and gain and it was very public. I had been involved in a nat'l wt loss organization and was a NYS Queen, once upon a time, so you can imagine my chagrin (sounds nicer than devastating humiliation) at being back to my pre-royalty wt. I just couldn't maintain the 2hrs/day exercise and eating plan it took to maintain it once real life kicked in. All that said, I've told almost no one except folks here about my decision to pursue this, not out of fear of failure, but rather I just don't have the time or patience to deal with the negativity folks seem obliged to express. So I guess not posting a pic is kind of a protective mechanism.
I finally put a pic on my profile when I got an appt for a pre-op physical. It felt a little more tangible, more real, so I put up a photo. I don't know if that makes any sense to anyone but me, bu there it is. One of these days, I'll get up the nerve to change my avatar. I know, when I get an actual surgery date, I will change it! There, a goal!
