Topic: RE: Plastic surgery
Hi Georgia,
As far as I know, aside from surgery there is not anything you can do for saggy skin. Every time I look at my saggy skin I remember that I did this for my health. I look okay in my clothes so it's all good.

Just wondering if everyone has to have plastic surgery. If not what do you do to fix the saggy skin and strech marks.

Topic: RE: Week of 11-7-/ How are we going to move our bodies this week?
Good morning everyone,
This is not turning out to be a good week for me as far as exercise is concerned. Due to the ineptness of the people that I am dealing w/ I have to return and continue to take care of some business, which is severely cutting into my gym time. So again tonight I will miss the gym.
What are your plans to move your body today & tomorrow, I will be off.
Lets keep it moving, see ya on Friday 11-12-10

Topic: RE: A lil about myself
Hi Georgia,
I'm so glad you have begun this amazing journey. It is filled with lots of emotions. I so remember being afraid yet excited. You will blink and your surgery time will arrive and then you'll soon be a year down the road.
I too have struggled with depression and anxiety. I wish I could say my depression/anxiety is gone. It is not but I am generally more happy and feel a confidence I've never experienced. I still have times I want to stress/emotional eat.
Ask lots of questions, none are silly or unimportant.
Hugs

Topic: RE: My first Halloween!
Hi Lynda,
Congrats on your candy success. For me having those successes build on more successes.
You will figure out what you can and can't eat. When was your surgery?
You are right "one day at a time" works well when I remember to live it as well as say it.
Hugs,
Annie

Topic: A lil about myself
So I am new to this OH site, and I am looking for new friends. I have alot of questions, I need all the input I can get.
I have not been approved for my surgery yet, I dont even have my first appointment (the consultaion****il the 18 of this month. I am excited and scared all at the same time.
I currently weigh about 288 and not happy, so my goal is to be 135, healthy and happy. I have not been big my whole life, I was acutally a very thin girl at one time. But I had kids and life happened. I am a single mother of 2 wonderful boys that are my life, they complete me. I want to be able to do more things with my kids. I have dealt with depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. So please invite me to be your friend, I am looking forward to it. Thank you & God bless

Topic: My first Halloween!
It's a beautiful fall day here in Ohio just a little over a week since Halloween. I sat outside on beggar's night with a neighbor and passed out candy without my usual "one for you-one for me" routine. Then there were the leftovers. We normally have around 200 kids, so my husband bought 10-12 bags of candy. I guess our neighborhood has grown up because we have several unopened bags left. I have left them unopened on purpose to avoid the temptation. Otherwise, I would be tempted to grab one every time I walked by.
And then there are those people that bring their leftover candy to work so they don't eat it at home! I wasn't perfect, but I did quite well. Normally, I would pick out all of the Butterfingers and stash them in my desk drawer. This year I only took one and ate it very slowly. Unfortunately, the candy didn't give me dumping syndrome or even bother me that much. What is really upsetting is that we went to a cook out over the weekend and I had a hamburger (no bun) and baked beans and dumped (actually vomitted twice) from that dinner! Boy, it was hard to find a place to vomit out of sight of my husband's friends. (We were in a big field to launch rockets.) Luckily, it was getting dark. I still know that I can't eat all the candy I want, but it is so frustrating to be doing what I think is right and still feel lousy.
My next temptation is vacationing in NYC over Thanksgiving with all the great food! Oh well, one day at a time!

Topic: RE: What are your absolutes? Please share.
This is simple yet profound . I will decide today what my abolutes are. Right off the top of my head I know a few of mine are- don't drink while eating, take my vitamins, drink 80 oz of water, have accountability. I know one I need to adopt is for exercise.
Thanks Molly for posting.
