A Lonely Journey

I had no idea how lonely this journey would be.  When I was sedintary, I made sedintary friends.  Now that I have energy, I can't get anyone to hang out to save my life. I came here in hopes of making friend with people who have a new appreciation for life.

I can relate living out in the edge of the boonies of North and East Texas.  Long ways to a support group meeting or even a gym.  That is why I stay on OH a lot after all this time and keep a working treadmill at home.  Finding though that scratching below the surface a little I know enough people who have had WLS in one form or another that we could have our own support group here. 

Put your radar up around the gym and walking paths.  May pick up on somebody talking about having had surgery and there is your opportunity to break the ice.  Case in point a barista at the drive through at a Starbucks commented she was happy because she was down a hundred pounds that day.  Got to talking and next thing I'm doing is showing her the scars on my stomach.  Small world. 

What area of TX are you in?    I belong to a support group that meets twice a month in Dallas.  One of the meetings a month is usually an activity.  If you are on facebook do a search on After the Cut and join our group.

I'm glad that you found OH and I am SO sorry that I felt the need to cancel my meeting for yesterday.   AdornKelley.....where do you live?   Are you in the Ft. Worth area?   If so I can meet you anytime for a walk or to talk or whatever.    Being lonely isn't good and can even set you up for failure as far as doing emotional eating.   FYI....I rarely ever cancel one of my Support Group Meetings but since saturday they were giving a 70% chance of the weather that we got hitting....I felt the need to cancel.   I do have a lady who occasionally comes from Hillsboro and I would die if any of my members had a accident trying to get to my meeting.    Please PM me if you need to talk....I'm always off and online.   Not usually on OH much on the weekend though.

Oh its okay, the weather WAS crazy and safety first.  I'm not like really lonely I just have no one to relate to and be active with.  Don't feel bad!! Oh and I live in the Bedford area.

AdornKelley......I live in N. Richland Hills.  I truly mean what I said.   If you want to do something sometimes and have no one to do it with....let me know and I look forward to hopefully meeting you at least at my April meeting.    We usually meet the first sunday of the month.    Have a blessed day,
