Stopping by

I just popped in to say hello and that I am still thinking of you all I am now officially 120 pounds down and very happy! In spite of some negativity I have managed to trot along I am now officially at my goal weight and not sure where to go to from here but hey I look at it  like this is an addiction and I need to take it one day at a time. SO I do I have had my mis steps and picked myself up and I have also had my successes and enjoyed the rewards of them. Not once has anyone here beaten me up about it well except maybe one but hey thats to be expected when others feel low. I have become patient and learned to over look the small stuff because I am alive to see it all happen. LIFE IS GOOD 

Hey HotMama! Glad to see you again, as Bob mentioned we have been missing some of our peeps...  but I have been so terribly busy these past few days myself, then there was the depression from my period but all is going well. I am so happy for you that you met your goal!  congratulations! smooches to you,dear!

  Hi Mama,

  It is good to see you...  Way to go on your weight loss..  You have done fantastic... 

  I totally agree with you.  Just from my own personal experience it is an addiction and I also have to take it one step at a time one day at a time.  I am a food addict and I do work the steps too...  Addiction is a disease that has no cure.  The symptoms can be treated but there is no cure..   Thank God for WLS... I have learned so much over the past year and a half about nutrition and self preservation.  God is good and I am blessed. 

  And also the steps are a wonderful thing along with a sponsor.  It is imparative for me to have a person that I check in with every day.  That is the beauty of this wonderful support board.  I have made friends here and I work diligently to seek out someone that I know I can talk to and they are there for me.  Another part of recovery is being able to give back too. 

  I am sorry that you have encountered a negative experience.  That is very painful.  But it sounds like that you are able to see it for what it is and keep going. 

  Bama Bob reminds me often to not sweat the small stuff.

Good to hear from you Susan!  It sounds like the Florida weather is agreeing with the weight loss.  Congrats on a 120 pounds, that's amazing!  I agree, the small stuff tends to trip us up sometimes...Just lift your feet a little higher and take really big steps!
