I'm struggling...

Ah, Paola, Sweetie, I am so sorry to hear of your struggles.  I don't have any words of wisdom, but can offer lots and lots of cyber hugs.  I miss your posts and beautiful face around here.  I hope you'll stay with us and let us support you in any way we can.

Hey girl, it's been so long since I've seen you on OH and girl I asked Gina A. about you a while back, I am so sorry to hear of your difficulties, I can't imagine.  You are in my thoughts and prayers lady......keep your chin up. You can do this sweetie, refocus and show your determination......I know you have what it takes and you will do what needs to be done.......one day at a time and don't get upset with yourself if you slip, it's a process and it'll take time.  You realize you need to make changes, so do it with all your heart and mind. Keep in touch, I'm here to listen and offer all the support and encouragement I can. Hugs,

Hi Paola, Were on the same boat i've gained 30 and I feel horrible.  I know what i'm doing wrong however don't seem to correct it.  I'm having a really hard time lossing and it depresses me even more.  I think we just need to go to the basics.  Keep me posted. Jen

Oh Paola,  I am so soo happy to see your smiling picture.  I was gone over a year myself d/t a health problem.  Congratulations for having met goal ~ a wonderful accomplishment.  I agree that maintenance is difficult. I never in my life was at goal so I was very scared.  You didn't blow it with your weight gain.  You had so many stressors, one after another. I'm sorry about Bob.  Sorry that he couldn't cope and left you, his family and friends to deal with it alone.  Well of course you feel miserable girlfriend. I know what you mean about food making you feel ugly. But, you are not ugly, you are beautiful inside and out.  Your posts were always so caring and informative. Enjoy you trips to Europe and ps in Brazil. Have a restful time and your motivation will increase to get to your goal. Paula
