Awww feel better. This too will pass. I have faith that you will reach your goal. I
will also pray for you. If you ever want to get together and go walking or something
let me know.   There is a health fair June 30th and a 5K at Kaiser. Wanna join a
5K with me or go to the health fair? or something? I am already signed up.
maybe get out and re-visit where you had your sleeve done and see others face to face
may help and be encouraging. Also this tuesday is our WL support group if you want to
go.   PM me if your interested.   feel better... sometimes it just feels good to have
a good cry.   Huuuugs

I am bawling my head off now....Francisco hit the nail on the head...you have been such a gracious giver to everyone else...and beilieve it or not this post was also a gift. I am not 1 1/2 years out and feel the same exact way. I have gained 15 lbs back since Oct and need to lose 50 more. I can't find the passion to save mylife. I can do well for a few days and then BAMM....its all over again. I hate the feelings of failure and the guilt....so, I stop posting here and then I stop reading, too...but when I come back...the first person I look for is YOU...I know you have struggled and still keep fighting and that inspires me....I think about your stair challenge and it almost makes me climb onto the stair master (ALMOST)...

Thank you for being brave enough to say what so many wouldn't, for sharing your feelings of weakness...becuase it helps many find the strength we are all looking for...thank you for giving all of us permission to repeat and repeating the same struggles...It is good to know that its ok to not lose it all in 6 months and have to restart repeatedly,

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!!....I will pray for both of us and all of the others that are in the same boat!!!!

Big Frog Kisses,
DAWN

Finding the passion is SOOOO flipping hard isn't it? And falling into those bad habits is just as hard!! Well thank you. I'm glad my postings timing was there for US ya know....yeah that stair climb ALMOST makes me want to climb stairs. I was all gungho to do it this year BUT I'll be on a beach in Jamaica =) I'll be praying for you as well.
