is this where no surgery is discussed?

I was referred from the main board (??) to here, and am new, and wondering if this is where they told me to go. I'm not looking for surgery, too scared, so i'm trying on my own. any answers would be appreciated, or redirection. Thank You Jezabel

Good morning Jezabel, Yes, this is the board for those of us that battle with obesity but have chosen not to have surgery. Read our profiles to see what is working for us and hopefully that will help you come up with a plan that will work for you. Good luck! Juli

Hi Jezebel... You have come to the right place! Did someone refer you, did you read a post about us, or did you just happen to stumble on us?? Anyways... welcome to the non-op board! Hopefully you will find everyone's advice and examples to be helpful and informative... and fun! We've all gone through the same problems pretty much, and I hope that you find your own way through the support of everyone here! Don't ever be afraid to ask questions, we're all here to help! Good luck, and again, welcome!! ~CJ 250/155/140

Hi CJ, You are so close to 100 pounds!!! How exciting. Ann

Thanks so much Ann!!! I can't wait!!! How are you doing lately??? Back on track yet?? Haven't heard from you in while, hope you're doing okay!!!! ~CJ

Hi CJ, Thanks for asking, but no I am doing horrible. I have gained, gained and gained. I can't believe that just a few short months ago I was at 204, now I am all the way back to 237. But I had my eyes opened. I just can't hit 240....it would be just too horrible. So today, I;m back on track. Ann Non-op 306/237 ARGGHHH/ 140

Ohhh I'm so sorry to hear that Ann!! Actually, rather dissappointed! Time to get back on track... commit yourself to it... you've done it before, so do it again! I know you can... you've proven to all of us that you can! So step up and take life by the... uhh... "horns"... and get control here! Who's driving... Ann??? Or is it... Ann's evil Head-Hunger Monster.... c'mon, don't let some SOB control YOUR life. Get back in the driver's seat and let's go for a ride!!! You can do it, I KNOW you can... so let's see it happen. Much Love, CJ

Hi CJ, Thanks for your cheerleading!! People like you make a huge difference. Watching someone succeed is very empowering. I will start posting again on the weekly weigh-in. That will keep my honest Ann Again...thanks for caring!
