It has been a hard year

I havent posted in a very long time. I have lost 219 pounds since surgery on Feb 11, 2004. I have been really depressed since the TT on Nov 2004 and relized that my 11 year marriage was a shame. I filed for divorce and it has been a very grief filled time in my life. But I need some peace in my life. I am learning I do not need to settle and enable anyone. How WLS works on those self esteem issues. I know it will get better but boy I wish I could blink this holiday away. I wish you all a good week and I am going to try to visit more often. take care Lisa

I hope things will get better for you Lisa. I also absolutely loathe this time of year, and if I didn't have small kids, I would just go away on a cruise or something for the whole end of December. Chin up.

My prayers are with you as I know this is hard. Divorce is never easy even when it's something you know is best for you. I've been there, and I know. Depression takes all forms and how we deal with it is important. I'm around the corner from you if you ever need someone just to talk to and listen. I listen well. You have come a very long way to have a better life and you will. Remember to always find something every day to make you smile. Even if it's just the sun peeping thru the clouds. Lorraine

Wow...what a year! Look at it this way....you have no where to go but up 219 pounds???? Wow!!
