Almost there

I'm 8 weeks out, and down from 338.7 pre-op to 301.9. I CANNOT WAIT TO GET BELOW THREE FREAKIN' HUNDRED!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't seen that number since before I was 30 (and I'm 42 now). The last week I've been at a standstill....... boogers. My "high" point was 373, so I'm trying to focus on the "big picture" (parden the pun). I have no ice cream or chocolate in the house, a major accomplishment for me since the 4th was my mom's birthday, who has been gone about 3 years and I miss every day, and tomorrow is my best friend's birthday, who committed suicide in July just before I had surgery. This is a really crappy time for me, and I NEED TO LOSE THAT 2 POUNDS!!!!!!!!! I made it to the gym twice last week, but couldn't manage over the weekend. Saturday I was busy all day and it closes at 2, and Sunday I was just a slug. I need to get my water in.... any words of wisdom for getting through the next week?

Carolyn, Well, I may not be the best one to give advice, but. . . Hang in there! It may be a rough time right now, but it will get better. Just focus on one day at a time, not the whole week. Keep busy with things other than food and it should help. Know that we are here for you!! Ann in Duluth

Carolyn- Miss you. I will go to the gym with you this week if that would help! God knows I need to get in there! Be strong girl- we will get there.
