Wet Wet Wet Wednesday roll Call
No way I am the first one up!
I am here at work today, and then have a quick break before having patients this evening in my private practice. I started my back on track coaching and group via telephone last night and it should be interesting. Once I have compeleted the program myself, I will start marketing a group to start in January. Should be interesting and i am looking forward to getting some structured help to actually give me the tools to get back on track. I have had some regain I would like to lose and get to my goal, so this should help me. Gonna be a long day but I am happy to have it.
I hope you all have a great day, stay safe the roads are wet and slippery

Hi Nicole, rest of the gang here on the PA board. . .
Gratitude goes a long way towards being happy and contented and staying healthy too. . . and it seems you have that attitude this morning. . .
I, too, have been dealing with the old demons, lots of stressors right now and dealing with it in the old way, in other words, eating things that are not good for me, not horrible, but anything extra puts on the pounds and I need to STOP IT NOW!!! I spoke with someone in my support circle about it last night and am going to reach out when the demon strikes, tremendous fears about gaining more weight and where that leads to, seems 3 years maybe a trigger for many of us post-WLS folks, based on seeing some of the posts lately, as well as what I see in my support circle.
I will not allow myself to get "obese" again. I am committing to what I know works and that includes getting my saggy butt back into the gym, going to check out a gym that is near to my job and near home too, so that I can do what I know leads to continued success on this journey. I cannot lead, if I don't follow too!
Wishing everyone here a good day and peace and strength to anyone going through the downside of what life can be sometimes. . .
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Good morning Nicole and Laureen - can't beleive we onkly have two entries in the roll call AND that I am posting in the morning before leaving!
Am heading off to work today - am off on Friday (yipee) - my butt is dragging - am tired - burning the candle this week.
As much as I fear the weight maintenance "game" going forward, I am so glad that all of you are here to help keep me accountable and to share your struggles so that I are best prepared for the road ahead and am not lulled in to this false sense of it being easy.
xoxo,
Maura

Good morning PA!
I sure hope today goes better than yesterday. My son is a victim of bullying and has seen the school counselor twice this week. He now has such a low self worth that I made him an appt with a psychologist next week. I am very worried for him. I am finding that it is affecting my emotions a lot too. I am a crying mess...and wanting to eat those feelings away, like in the pre-RNY days. I will try to stick to my eating plan better today. Yesterday was bad...but it is gone & I will try harder today.

Sara - I'm sorry to hear about the bullying and your son - that is nothing to take lightly in this day and age because it can get out of hand very quickly. My nephew's girlfriends one daughter was being bullied terribly by a boy at school who seemed to pray on younger, defenseless girls - Melissa (the mother) went to the police, they got involved and the boy was suspended - and this is JUNIOR high. I hope the school stands by your son and does the right thing.

Good rainy morning all - I'm at work - got here early because I have to leave early today for PT - only two more appointments - it seems to be helping a little bit, but I doubt I'll schedule any more after this week. See the ortho again in November.
I'm reading the posts of the '3 year olds' out here and definitely feeling the same struggles - I will be 3 years out in February and my weight has gone up a bit - not horribly and no change in clothing size, but definitely not going in the direction I want it to since I never got to my own goal weight, so I'm trying to shake my food up and get back into a more regular exercise routine - its been sporadic at best. Like the others there is no way I'm going back to being morbidly obese - I'll sew my lips shut first!!
And that's about it for me today - tonight I plan on going back to the clubhouse to use the treadmill - last night I used my exer-bike and went 8.3 miles in 40 minutes - it was a great work-out - and I'm looking forward to another sweaty one tonight.
