I just wanted to thank you ALL those who posted and those who just looked and those who said prayers for coming to my RESCUE over the weekend. It truly is hard to come to others for help when you are "usually" the one dishing the help out. I NEEDED to hear all your words and feel your support.

The last few days have been HARD...really HARD and today yesterday and today I have the WORSE headache. Yesterday I "figured" the headache was due to me being out in the heat. Well sitting here in my air conditioned office it just dawned on me that I'm going through WITHDRAWLS. Which is a great thing but damn!!

Thanks again for all your support and words of encouragement!!

I don't remember if I commented or just looked, but I remember you posting about this. CONGRATULATIONS! You are such an inspiration to so many of us! Stay strong, Ms Shell! You can continue this great trend! One day I might be in your shoes and I hope to have the resolve you just showed this weekend!

Well hello there Ms. Shell,

I've gone back and read your post; as I'm rarely on these days. I'm glad you received support from fellow OH members as you've certainly been a trooper over the years to many, many others.

So I take it the withdrawal is from those gosh, darn it all CARBS.

What about a Boot Camp kick, for a couple weeks or NO drinking booze for a month. I know when I have drinky poohs the slider foods and appies get past my WLS thinking, far too easily.

Hugs Sleeve Sista!!!

Thanks darlin...right now it's detoxing from carbs and LIFE and old demons. Getting my head BACK where it needs to stay for life is a struggle, but it's a struggle that I'm worth =)
