Ive been lying...

yip thats right i have been lying to myself... i so thought that i was happy with my wt... i mean i thought i loved myself and lately i have came to realize (after the doc put me on prozac) that i am not happy... i want to shed another 50 lbs... and for the last 4 months or so i have been miserable and trying to maintain.... I saw a pic of one of my friends and i am thrilled that wls worked for her... now since i seen her new pics i am disgusted with myself... AND to tp that off its all my fault... quit exercisin bc of PS ... and then when i was released to exercise i just didnt... i make sure i get all my protein and water in but i dont move... AND the scale ... AHHHHH it dont move either ... even though they cut off 12.5 lbs the scale really doesnt show it... In no way am i sayin that wls didnt work for me bc i have lost 172 lbs which is GREAT... So i need some help how do i get started again... i know excersizing and protein and water but i am goin back to not gettin dressed during the day... OHHH and to top all that off i started smokin again... I know i have ulcers all the time but its like what ever... all i ave to do is take my ulcer meds and i will have no problems.... so please help me... i am in need here... and i know that you guys are not here to hold my hand and tell me what to do... but i have no support here... and i need you all to help... PLEASE

first, ((((((((HUGS))))))))) seems you've skinned your knee here. Ya know - fell down. Ouch. So here's a hand extended to help you up. Tell us, what can we do to help? I post a keeping it honest post - to really LOOK at what you (or rather I) eat each day honestly - cause I'm only lying to me if I falsify it. You know what you've got to do - so tell us how we can help you...we're here for you, you know. (((HUGS)))

what Tooter said............. pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start anew. That's what I am about to do. I am going down to Texas to see my family for the first time in over a year. I truly hope to get 10 lbs off before I do so. It's not totally unrealistic, but I am gonna try my damndest! Talk to us - listen, chime in, and stop whipping yourself! You are gonna do just fine, because you have already stared the demon in the face and know it for what it is!

I just want to say I hope you feel better soon. I don't know if it helps but I think you look fabulous! If I were there I would hold your hand! Losing 172 pounds is amazing. what an accomplishment. I didn't lose weight from my plastics either, I dont think a lot of people do. Then I added on the boobs so....I know they weigh in at 1 1/4 pounds alone. You wrote a few things you know you need to do. Pick one and start slow. You have come so far. Be proud.

Sweetie, I am going to bet that there isn't one of us who hasn't lied to ourselves before or after this surgery. Denial is just so much less stressful than facing the music, I guess. But you are so there because you are asking for help. Wish there was a magic pill, but, like the others, all I can offer is a hand up when you need it. Keep plugging and trying to make each day a little better. Rely on those around you (and here) for support. And above all, know that you are not alone. Every day is an ongoing struggle with food. CONGRATULATIONS on what you have accomplished so far. Your success is impressive! Good luck. Judi
