Please Help.

I guess you can say I am in need of some help, support, SOMETHING! I had my surgery September 2004. I have lost not quite 100 lbs or maybe just that. I know I have slacked alot in the exercise department. I had knee surgery recently so that puts a big damper on things. I am trying to get back into the gym although activity is limited to the bikes (my knee can only handle 6 minutes at this point) and the pool which is IMPOSSIBLE to get into. I have been working on getting back on track with eating as well, I am not drinking the water like I should, in all reality water literally makes me sick at times. In a way I guess I have given up hope but I know that I just need that little extra push. I don't get the support I need at home really, occassionally my boyfriend is of SOME help (he to had surgery but had the DS so basically gets away with EVERYTHING). I live with my father and his girlfriend, who both weigh over 300 easy *each*. I have posted on other boards before but have never gotten a response. Basically I am looking for someone to help me get back together. I have tried asking nutritionist for help with setting up a meal plan (day by day, meal/snack) and they of course only want to tell you WHAT to eat, not how much or how to moderate it. I am trying my best to not give up the last small amount of hope that I have. If anyone would be willing to help I would greatly appreciate it. For the first time in my life, I've admitted today, I have a food addiction, and I am now aware of it. Thanks Shannon

Shannon, I am not sure where Anza, CA is but California has a very active message board and support group here on OH. Come on over and check out the website. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/CA/ We have a lot of gatherings. Our next event is May 27th at Craig Park in Fullerton, CA. Sheryl
