Topic: RE: Post your Intro
Hi,
I was skinny until I got married, 29 years ago. I got married, graduated high school 1 month later, started a 2 yr college program that was condensed to one year, got pregnant 6 months into the marriage, worked part time while going to collage, I was eight months pregnant when I graduated collage. No stress at all, I ate what i wanted when i wanted, grab and go- I gained 60 pounds during the pregnancy and never lost it, and just keep going up from there.
I finally had had enough and researched bariatric surgery for 2 years before starting the process. I ended up having rny- although that was not what i had originally had thought i was going to do, I thought i would have lap band. changed my mind when i found out that with rny i could be diabetes free.
My RNY was 7/21/09 and I have lost 103 pounds with about 20 more to go. I have been stalled for the last 3 weeks, and noticed that I am not making good choices- crackers & carbs are back in my diet and they shouldnt be. Trying to get them out, but cant seem to do it.
I stopped seeing my counselor around thanksgiving, and that is when my world decided to crumble. I am trying to get an appointment scheduled with the therapist on Monday.

Topic: RE: Characteristic # 7: You Focus on Issues of Unfairness (Beck p 39)
I just read your post about being angry, I am hoping that you mad it thru the day fine. You sound like a very strong person.
I have been having a lot of those days lately, and think that this group and book will be a great help.
We all got to the dark place in our lives that mad us take a long hard look at ourselves, differently and we all will come out of the dark at differently and at a different pace.
Unfortunately there will also always be those that don't like change and will do what they can to stop from having change happen around them. Some people are jealous that you are able to do what you have done, remember it takes a strong person to go thru what we have done, it is not for the faint of heart.
good luck,
Kim

snack- yogurt
lunch- Protein- turkey, salmon, etc
snack- nuts, or cheese crackers with meat stick or protein shake
dinner- protein, bake spud (part of small one)
dessert- sf Popsicle at least 2
my issue comes when i don't make my meals ahead of time and have them ready to go in the early am
my alternate plan would be

snack - protein shake
lunch- Protein w/ yogurt
snack- protein shake
dinner- protein w/ veggie

FreeSpirited1....have you been peeping in my Personal Journal. You know I wrote something similiar to this last week. It's funny how we all seem to feel this way.
You know people who think I had the surgery, but are afraid to ask are always offering me stuff just to see how I'm going to react and if I'm going to eat it. They are some DEMONS and DEVILS! I never let them see me sweat!

Topic: RE: Day One Homework/ Checklist
I haven't made a list so to speak, but in my daily journal I have my before picture. I also have an 8 x 10 hanging in my kitchen. Everytime I open my journal, or go into my kitchen there it is...in living color! When I look at it I can't think of a better reason than to LOVE MYSELF and GET HEALTHY!
