New Here and needing to vent

Thanks Ms. Dawn. Today is definitely a rougher day but I know that if I can make it through today, I will be okay. Somedays, just knowing that I have allowed myself to get in the shape that I am in really eats at me. I guess it is a good thing that I am not going for that psych evail today because I would definitly fail. Denise

WELL SWEETIE ... WE'RE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT ... WE MADE MISTAKES THAT ALLOWED US TO GAIN WEIGHT BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT AFTER A ZILLION YO-YO DIETS, OUR BODIES COME TO THE POINT WHERE THEY SAY, "NOPE ... NOT GONNA LET YOU LOSE ANY WEIGHT" ... &, THEN THERE IS THE HEREDITY/GENETICS FACTOR. SO, DON'T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF! YOU DID THE HARDEST & BEST THING YOU CAN ... YOU ADMITTED YOU CANNOT RESOLVE YOUR WEIGHT PROBLEM BY YOURSELF & YOU ARE GETTING THE LIFE-LONG HELP YOU NEED. ATTA GIRL! LISTEN TO THE TONE OF THE LADIES & GENTS ON THIS BOARD ... WE DON'T WASTE OUR TIME & ENERGIES ON BEATING OURSELVES UP BECAUSE WE KNOW WE HAVE FINALLY FOUND "THE ANSWER" TO LIFE-LONG WEIGHT CONTROL & HEALTHY LIVING. YOU'LL GET THERE, MS DENISE. JUST STICK WITH US & YOUR WHOLE OUTLOOK WILL CHANGE! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

Ms. Dawn You are just too good I have not tried to be too hard on myself, and usually I am a very upbeat person I think I just have been a little toooooooo stressed with starting the WLS journey, moving, my mom has parkinson's and we are having to move her in with us after Thanksgiving, and then trying to the idea of doing school online, and go take an ASL class in Columbia in January. I am thinking how is this going to all work out. But after much prayer, I really feel like that I am on the right path. I just keep trying to think of the end result which will be doing a job that I love and a healthier body What more could a woman ask for. Thanks again Denise

ONE DAY AT A TIME, GIRL & IN NO TIME YOU WILL LOOK BACK & THINK ... NOW, HOW DID I DO ALL THAT? ... THE GOOD LORD JUST SETS OUR FEET ON A PATH & WHA-LAH ... "SOMEHOW" IT ALL WORKS OUT & WE GET DONE WHAT WE NEED TO. I HELP WITH MY MOMMA AS WELL ... SHE'S HAD STROKES ... AFTER WLS, I'LL BE TRYING TO GET A HOME-BUSINESS STARTED & A ZILLION OTHER THINGS, SO OFF WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. AT LEAST WITH WLS, I'LL BE LOSING WEIGHT & THAT WILL ALLOW ME THE ENERGY & RELIEVE ME OF THE PAIN & LIMITATIONS SO I CAN GET EVERYTHING DONE WITH RELATIVE EASE! AFTER MARRYING MY SWEET HUBBY, NICHOLAS ... THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE FOR MYSELF! YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT PATH, MS DENISE ... JUST KEEP PUTTIN' 1 FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER & YOU'LL DO SUPBERB! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK
