Struggling

The title says it all.

I have had 3 fills so far and having the VG band doesn't make it any easier.

Since everything is out of pocket now its very difficult to just continuously go in for fills. Unlike the weight, money does not grow on trees.

I am getting more discouraged at myself (or is it anger?) since I really have no excuse. I have a great support group and I know what I need to do. But these bumps in the road to weight loss are killers. Every pound that I gain back is just getting me more and more down. Even with the knowledge that others have gone thru the same thing and have driven thru it to success - it is difficult.

It is a new year and I am planning on getting back into it...

It is a new year and I am going to get back into it...

It is a new year and I am getting back into...

Hmmm... doesn't help... keep looking forward!

harlito,

i think you were the first person i spoke w/ on this board, you are such an inspiration to me...

get back up and let's do this together. we can make it!!

what are you eating? even if you eat a lot of a low cal food (i am eating mahi mahi b/c it is low in cals and high in protein), you can still lose. are you moving your body? if not, take small steps and work up to more.

you can do this!!!
