 Hi all you light weights.

My name is Donna, I live in NJ, I had a DS january 11, 2010. I have lost a total of 130 pounds and I am below my goal.  

I am struggling to keep my weight on or maybe just struggling with looking at myself in the mirror and seeing a petite little person.  This will take some time I know.  

I take creon to help absorb a little more of my carbs and fats.  It does work when I take it. Have this awful fear that if I take it, I will gain back my 130 pounds or as they say " Ruin my Ds"
I know this is silly business but its just the way it is.   I am a nurse and an educated women, I do know better. 

So that is a quick over view of me and will try to spend some time on this board to meet you all and contribute to all of your successes.

Welcome, Donna. I am also struggling with seeing a petite little woman in the mirror. I'm still losing, but I don't think, I'll ever have the problem of keeping weight on. I am also a nurse.

Welcome Donna!!!  Congrats on your 130 pounds lost!!!!!  I'm so glad you decided to check out our LW board!!!!   Please join in whenever you can. 

I understand the "whole I'm to thin" thing but I'm Loving it!!!   My DH tells me all of the time that I need to gain some weight but when I was fat he never mentioned my weight so I'm taking it as a compliment rather than a complaint (he pats my behind a lot more now...LOL).   I am fortunate to have 3 DD's about the same size as I am so I remind myself that this is "normal". 

I had originally dropped to 106 but I decided that was a little to thin so I increased my calories and now I'm about 112.  I feel good here but I regret making that decision.  If I had known how easy it was to gain weight back then I would have tried to hit the 100 pounds loss mark (only had 3 to go).

Again...WELCOME!!!

God is walking with me every step of the way. Because of HIM this is possible!!
