Pam,

Sounds to me as if the you made the necessary changes. You cooked healthy alternatives and avoided grazing, you postponed movie night to avoid a situation you may not be able to control, etc. I appreciate you sharing your struggles as well as I can learn as I continue to proceed. Best of luck to you!

Thanks Dawn. If there's ANYTHING I've learned from this board...is that it's not all butterflies and glitter blown up our butts. We celebrate and learn ways to continue successing...but we also learn what struggles there are from the others here. I'm not one to hide that. It might take awhile for everything to come out with me...but eventually....I do.

recently had someone tell me (WLS person) that "you appear to have all your **** together all the time" Well...I'm hear to say....HA to that!!! But I am willing to admit when I don't!!!.......

Did you hear a bout a certain Barix support group leader who fell apart at a meeting talking about her non fear of sugar,dumping on jelly beans, gained weight, issues with her boyfriend who was sittng across from her but she needed him to not be her boyfriend. Rumor hade it it maked those of us that seem to have it all together human to those that are after us on the WLS journey.....No idea who that girl was though

Lovey,

periods suck, humidity sucks, hormones suck, thyroids suck and scales suck. You, on the other hand do not - you made the right choice, did not graze, did not eat crap, recognized your instinct to turn to bad food and turned away from it.

hugs,

Maura
