Discouraged? Depressed? Need encouragement?

I have told this many times, but prior to my surgery, I would sign on to OH several times a day (ok 4, 5 or more) and just look at the before/after photos of people who had surgery. Their success was evident in those pictures, and it caused such a tenacity to rise up within my that said, "ONE DAY THAT WILL BE ME!" It will motivate you to "keep on keepin' on!" During those dark days when you want to just give in, and go eat the biggest hot fudge cake ever made in the world, or drag out the gallon of your favorite ice cream and "sabotage" yourself as one person put it,... try looking at the before/afters. It really helps put things into perspective... Just a thought.

Thanks Melinda! I need to do this...not having a good week.

I have to agree with you Melinda. There have been a lot of times I get down and I look at the before and after's and it boost my spirits. What helps even more is finding pictures of people who started at the same or close to what you started and seeing how much they have lost. I have written several of these people just to say they are an inspiration and always get such good feedback from them.

Kym and Juanita I think that both of you could put your pictures on there right now and people say "WOW HOT DANG look at them girls!" Juanita are you coming Saturday? I hope so.

I don't think I will be able to come Saturday. : ( I tried to request off but that day was full so not able to get off. I am hoping to get a better schedule soon with weekends off.
