I NEED A GOOD KICK IN THE BUTT!

I HAVE HAD A STRESSFUL TIME IN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF AND NOW I HAVE FOUND THAT I HAVE GAINED 5LBS! OOOOOHHHH IM SO MAD AT MYSELF! WE BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE AND MOVED AND THEN THERE WAS TALK OF LAYOFFS AT MINE AND MY HUSBANDS JOB SO I THINK I STARTED STRESS EATING. NOTHING BIG BUT IT WAS GRAZING AND NOW I HAVE SEEN THE RESULTS. I DO NOT LIKE IT ONE BIT!! I HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING OUT EITHER BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN BUSY MOVING! YEAH I KNOW EXCUSES EXCUSES! ANYWAY NO LAYOFFS AS OF YET AND WE ARE ALL MOVED IN SO IM HOPING TO GET BACK ON TRACK. ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IF SO WHAT DID YOU DO TO GET BACK ON TRACK? I REFUSE TO GO BACK TO WHERE I WAS BEFORE SURGERY BUT IM GONNA NEED SOME SUPPORT. I KNOW I HAVENT BEEN ON HERE VERY MUCH BUT I GUESS I THOUGHT I COULD HANDLE IT ALL ON MY OWN. WRONG!! ANYWAY ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I have not gained any, but I sure fell like I have fell off the wagon or lost my mojo..
I have failed myself in the work out dept and make up excuses to not get moving in the last month. I have been stuck on 184 since Nov and it is hard to find the will to get my rear in gear.

I have no suggestions other than what I am telling myself, tomorrow is a new day and what is done is done. I am not going to dwell on yesterday, I am gonna move foward with today.

I hope you and I both get back on track!

YES I HAVE TOLD MYSELF THE SAME THING. STARTING MONDAY I AM GETTING BACK IN THE GYM EVEN IF I HAVE TO DO IT ON MY LUNCH BREAK!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

You have both been huge motivation for me since my surgery, I've read your posts for month and you are both such great SUCCESS stories and such great supporters of all of us 'newbies'.
We all are where WE are because of the great jobs you have done with your WLS and honest posts.   We're here for YOU!!!!!!!  

If you need something new to get you going again, try Spark People, the point thing is kinda fun, and it will help you re-focus, I re-started there yesterday, to focus myself on exercise.....Join me there???  My user ID is Positive-1 on that site.


GO GIRLS>>>>>>YOU"RE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS CATHY! IT MEANS A LOT TO ME THAT I CAN BE AN INSPIRATION FOR SOMEONE THAT IS JUST STARTING THEIR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY! IT HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE TRIP FOR ME AND I REFUSE TO GO BACK TO WHERE I WAS BEFORE THIS SURGERY!! I KNOW A FEW POUNDS ARE NOT GOING TO KILL ME PHYSICALLY BUT EMOTIONALLY THEY ARE KILLING ME SLOWLY!! I HAVE MADE A COMMITTMENT TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AND I AM GETTING BACK ON THE WAGON STARTING MONDAY.  ITS BACK TO THE GYM AND WATCHING WHAT I EAT AGAIN.

Thanks Cathy

I have been a member of spark people for a few years, but when I got my gowearfit I stopped using it. I may have to log back in this year.

Well, I guess we need a butt kicking, all out brawl! It seems that many of us may have or haven;t gained weight, but we are not doing what we should be doing to use these tools properly. I honestly feel that not being on here as been a part of my issue too. We need each other and need to be motivators and supporters for one another....We also need to be here to share problems and answers that we have found along this journey. I hope to be more of a part of this board again for my own benifit! I need this and I realize I need the support groups too. You know, I felt too, that I could do this on my own as I do everything....but I need others who understand this path to a healthier life.
You can and will get back on this road. You can't let me down! You are one of my many hero's on here! Hang in there and bend over if you need that butt kicked!!

OK SHERRY THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT! I NEED ACCOUNTABILTY HERE. I TOO HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM THIS MESSAGE BOARD FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW BECAUSE I THOUGHT I DIDNT NEED IT ANYMORE BUT I WAS SOOOO WRONG! I NEED THIS BOARD AS MUCH AS I NEED THE SUPPORT OF MY FAMILY SO I WILL BE CHECKING IN HERE MORE OFTEN NOW! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

When I first came back to this board, almost 2 years ago, it was very active.  The people were all very supportive of one another.  It honestly doesn't seem that way as much anymore.  Sometimes there are many days between postings on here.  People have gone by the wayside who used to be key players in the support and activeness of this board.  I miss the comraderie.

That being said, I would love to have the support factor back on here as I, myself, could use it, too.  I would be glad to be supportive to all those who need it and would love to have the support in return.  This journey doesn't get easier the farther out you get.  The first year or so of the journey is actually the easiest part.  After that, it's all about learning to maintain and that becomes the challenging part.  Hope to talk to more of y'all soon!  Let's make 2010 the year to support each other and get our Oklahoma board back on track!

I HAVE MISSED THAT ALSO BUT IT SEEMS LIKE I NEVER HAD TIME TO GET BACK ON HERE BUT I AM CHANGING THAT STARTING TODAY. I USED TO GET ON HERE 2-3 TIMES A DAY BUT NOW IM GOOD TO GET ON HERE EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. I MISS THE REGULARS WHO HELPED ME SO MUCH AT THE BEGINNING OF MY JOURNEY. I HOPE TO GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH SOME OF THEM AND GET THE SUPPORT THAT I NEED AND WANT AND I HOPE TO GIVE SOME SUPPORT BACK.
