Lurker Coming Out

I have been a lurker on the main board for over 2 years but have never posted. Having found this board - with all the people who have inspired me before and after my surgery - I decided to come out and play. I am 17 months post op and am beginning to have visits from some of my old food demons. Thankfully, I still get nauseous and miserable when I allow them to win, but I don't seem to learn my lesson as easily as I did earlier. Anyhow - I just wanted to post my thanks to all of you for your grace and attitude which helped me so much in the past and will continue to help me in my future.

Hi Elizabeth--Someone else just came out of the lurker closet after two years. Welcome to both the new grad board and to the world of reality meets wls. I guess we are gonna have some of these demons forever

Welcome MissLurker! This board is great, I hope you do not revert back to being a lurker. It seems many of us have the demons after us. Maybe we can get through it together. Have a great day! Theresa

lynda is talking about me!! Ü... i too lurked for 2 years,and was inspired to come out for the exact same reason,all the people i followed and that inspired me and are so familiar to me ended up on this message board, i had no choice but to finally come out!! i had my surgery feb 2004 and did not reach goal. i have 30 more pounds to go. by being a regular part of this community AND PARTICIPATING Ü,i hope to achieve my goal, thru support. glad to see another long time lurker so i know im not a wierdo...lol

Well . . . I know that I am not a weirdo. It is all those other people who have something off kilter! You must be one of the type of special people that I consider normal! I am so glad that we have a place to meet and great our inspirations and to hear the news that this surgery really is "just a tool". RATS!!!!
