Hey Freebyrd!

I just went back and noticed that you posted for your first time. Welcome and come back and jump in here. This place has finally gotten some life. We all need the inspiration!  Careful...this place is addictive.  But it's kind of cool to be able to look around when you have time.

Thanks,  just not sure what I'm doing yet.  I haven't been able to get my avatar set up.  I've had 3-6 teenagers all day long and haven't had much of a chance to get online, of course.  LOL  I'm still debating about whether to pursue WLS, but want to make sure to get all the info and support I can in making that decision.  My husband thinks it is silly so he really want talk to me about it.  Of course that doesn't mean he wouldn't support me if I made that decision just that he doesn't understand and doesn't really put in the time to try to understand. My mom needs to lose as well, but because of her health issues (which is really what has made me realize that I have to take control of my weight now) I really don't want her to be worried about me.   So that really leaves me nobody to talk to except one person at work who has had WLS and believes that I should just have it w/o putting up a fight. My whole issue with that, from the outside looking in it looks like the magic pill that we all dream about but w/o a lifetime commitment I could still fail.  If I must make such drastic changes anyway, why not try everything else first?
