Well, at least in FL it's sunny - hope so in PA as well! It's about time Spring arrived in earnest, no?

Just here for a split second this morning. I have a church picnic (OK it's officially a "beach party") early today and have to get some salad put together. And of course my stash of protein bars, water, and fruit in case the offerings aren't too friendly for me. You know the drill.

Then off to work straight from there.

And best of all - Mike had to be in FL for some business this weekend so we are going out to dinner at the end of it all! Date night!

Wishing you all a wonderful Saturday.....

 I just wanted to come back and apologize for my poor judgement. l didn't think before I responded and now that I have (and see the responses calling me out), I realize that I was VERY wrong.  I have no excuse for what I said and I am very sorry for it.  

I realize that this is supposed to be a judgement free zone and I am FAR from perfect.  I really feel crappy that I put myself out there like that. 

Again, sorry..

Yeah I sure wish that one or both of the Dr As where local.  Now I feel like I'm starting all over with research.  But I am done to 2 doctors because Abington hospital has a good self pay program.  (Still expensive but more reasonable then everywhere else in the area.)  There's 3 doctors there associated  with the program so one is extremely new so I'm debating between the other 2.
I hope your weight loss journey goes well.  Take care. ~Tammy

Topic: RE: Remember why we are here...
Beth,

You are absolutely right, we need to remember that this is a place where people come to gather information and get support.  There are many who cannot get to group meetings and come here, many too afraid to even do more than read posts and when we present here with thoughts that are unkind towards others, it makes people even more afraid to share what they need to, or want to participate.  We all have issues of some kind, but that is no excuse for unkindness, whether directed to someone on this site, or not, it can cause others real emotional distress. . . and haven't we all suffered enough of that. . .

Here's to a safe haven to discuss whatever one needs to in order to achieve their desired results and help them when the maintenance aspect of living this lifestyle kicks in, because this is a roller coaster ride and so strap in and enjoy the ride. . .

Hugs, Laureen


My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . .  It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . .  Laureen
