Really want to get this weight off...
Cheryl,
After reading this I am even more happy ou came out to the Walk with us last Saturday so maybe for a few hours you were not so isolated.
You addresses some issues here so maybe you need to go back and start tracking your protein again and watch the alcohol intake. (Guilty of drinking myself so not going to tell you stop it or judge you on that) but I maybe try to limit it to a weekend treat.
I think maybe if you can make it to a support meeting you know the pwer in them and take it one day at a time. If you mess up today let it go and start fresh tomorrow. Hell take it an hour at a time if need be.
As for the guy that called you fat..F**K him you are more then what one persons opinion is ...If he is that shallow to call you a school yard name you do not need him. You are an amazing woman and will get back on track.
Remember we are here for you!

Cheryl, I read an interesting quote from the wls pt. who has a blog and recipes at egghead? something?, anyway, she said something to the effect thet a person can't expect a different result if they are repeating behaviors or making choices that have lead to dissapointing or negative results in the past. So make some changes, and/or go back to practicing what worked for you in the past. Not easy to do, but necessary. Small consistant, repeated changes will lead to success, but you have to try your best to make them daily. 2) that guy is not for you. Any relationship that is going to be based on your weight is not a healthy, mature or respectful one. You deserve better.

Several quotations come to mind:
Somedays your the dog, and somedays your the hydrant.
Nothing Tastes as good as being thins feels.
Today is such a beautiful day, don't "F" it up.
What is is, what was was, what will be will be.
Don't wait for you ship to come in, swim out after it.
Try to repeat these things to yourself and see what results you get.
Today is a perfect example of what I am talking about---I had a few beers at say--7:30 am ---thinking I would be fine by class time at 11 for my test...right?? I fell asleep and missed class.....missed my doctor apt. with the dr. who has been with me through all of this.....I feel like a total asshole.
I was surfing and just came across this - please tell me you work the graveyard shift and were just getting home, not just getting up. If you were just getting up and had a few beers that early in the day that is not a good thing. What's bothering you? The classes? The doctor's appts? Fear of failure? Man, that's a big one and I think a lot of us experience that, especially in this journey because we've done it so many times before,
Before you head into a huge downhill slide please step back, take a deep breath and honestly look at yourself to see if you need professional help to get you through this rough patch. Most of us have needed it at one time or another - I did a few years ago when my life was turning upside down, and trust me I'm not foolish enough to realize I might not need it again some time.
I've hit a huge plateau with my weight loss - would love to get 30 more lbs off, and I'm not giving up, but I'm not letting it beat me up either - I have stayed the same weight for almost 6 months now - and I think that's pretty amazing. How about you? I know you've lost a lot and have kept it off but its those last few that are nagging you now.
You're not an asshole - you're someone who is struggling with some demon right now that nobody can see but you - don't let the demon(s) win. Get help - get away from the beer because you know that will only hurt in so many ways.
Take care of yourself, please...get some help from wherever or whoever you can. And keep us posted.
