Topic: RE: So you gained some back - read this and get on with it!
Amy,
I so appreciate your message! I haven't really gained, but I have been stuck since December. My life has sprialed out of my control, so therefore, my eating spiraled out of my control too. No time for working out...that's a crock! I have time, it's just making myself go. I'm not one of those people who enjoy exercise. I am self-conscious, and I hate walking in to that gym alone. I have had an eye-opener myself as of late. My mother and my grandfather are/were diabetic. I thought I would avoid those problems with my weight loss. Over the past two or three months, I have had my blood sugar drop to the point that I cannot function, get hot and clammy, and so weak. I finally called Brandy at Weightwise and she hooked me up wtih Stephanie, one of the dieticians, and we talked about what I was eating. All the wrong things! In the back of my mind, I knew that, but talking to her this week has helped. I'm eating better, AND my blood sugar hasn't dropped once.....and even better, I've lost weight too! I am using my tool again, like I'm suppose to, and it's paying off again too! I am going to get to that goal I set....
Something else I have stopped doing is coming to this board for the support I need and to give support to others. I am going to start haunting the board again. There's no support group close to me and me being three and a half ours away from Weightwise, it's impossible for me to attend meetings regularly, so this board will help with that hopefully.
Thanks again Amy! I needed to read that article you wrote!
Hugs,
Marsha

I get so tired of the ignorance of people! I am 18 months out and I never hide the fact that I had gastric bypass. I have friends who won't tell people they had wls, I've never hidden that from anyone. People used to ask me all the time if it was the easy way out....heck no! I went through a lot that first six months, five surgeries....I don't think there's anything easy about it. And now that I'm approaching my goal, I struggle every day. There is NO easy way to lose weight!

You did a really good job and the picture was great. It's not the easy way out but a tool. Thanks very much. donna
