Oh Loni....you are NOT a failure sweetie. We ALL struggle with our addiction ( FOOD ) everyday. Trust me.....I feel your pain. Congrats on the 35 lb. loss !!! That is a great start. Remember to try and put yourself first and your needs. I need to remember this myself. If you'd like I will give you my cell number in a private message and you can call me anytime. I am still a OH Support Group Leader and I am always here for anyone who needs me even though I have my own struggles as well. I have regained too and I am trying hard to get it off but the weight seems to "like me" and doesn't want to go. I feel my age is partly to blame for that though. You are NOT alone in this struggle. Have you gone to your surgeon and asked for help? Sometimes they will give you lots of great suggestions. IMHO the best advice is go back to the beginning and try to start again. Love you my friend and I am here for you if you need me.

Good Thursday Everyone,
Sorry I have been MIA. Sometimes life gets in the way with what we need to do. Since I got home from my cruise on sunday I've been seriously running around like a chicken with my head cut off. LOL My hubby has had many doctor appointments and he still has another one today. Sorry I haven't been posting my daily grateful post for you *****ad it. Today I am grateful for life, my WLS and the fact that I can go non-stop for along time without crashing and burning. Grateful for my friends, for my cruise last week and the relaxation that I had on it. Grateful for the upcoming holiday's although I am no where near ready to face them....they will come anyway and I will do the best I can. Grateful for my health and I won't take it for granted especially with all the issues that we are facing with my hubby's health. Grateful for my father God and all the grace that he throws my way on a daily basis. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day !!!
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

I'm having a tough time and I know I need to look at my successes but the last couple of days have been tough. I've lost 35 of my 80# regain so far and that's good, I know that. I"m really having a time with cravings and staying on track the last two day. So today I"m trying to refocus, and I really need the help of this group for accountability. I would never have made my goal without the help of y'all and love you all for that. So thanks for reading and I will be working on reconnecting and getting back on the track and staying there.
Hope your sister is doing well Brenda with her DS procedure. Please keep us updated. Hope she used someone skilled in DS. Too many doctors out there flying by the seat of their pants with THIS surgery. Keeping her in my prayers that she does well.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE FOR TODAY......When you get to a plateau, think of it as a landing on the stairway to your goal. And maintenance is a lifelong plateau, so a bit of "rehearsal" for maintenance isn't the worst thing in the world.

Good morning,
Sure seems like a long week and it aint over yet.
Did not have to go into site yesterday but will have to next week, hoping it's warmer by then.
Work and loading the dishwasher will be highlight of my day. For extra excitement I might do a load of laundry.
Brenda, keep us posted on your sister.
Have a great day!

Fur child did go out but did not tarry long. Was very vocal when she wanted back in. Don't blame her.
Long day on tap. Work today. City Council meeting tonight. First one since dog bite incident at Harvest Festival last month. It aught to be a hoot.
Managed to get on contraption yesterday. Yay me. 
Bundle up, or turn on the space heater, and do your thing.
Didn't get a chance to check out the board yesterday. Today looks like a much calmer day. My Dr appt turned out pretty good on Monday afternoon. Was a big relief! Support group was last night. Today is work. But taking off a little early. Younger sister is having her DS surgery this afternoon. So will head over to Frisco later. Try to stay warm! Brenda
