  17. I appreciate you sharing this. This thing is real and the reality is, if we don;t hold ourselves accountable it could happen to all of us. I'm sure your not the only one going through this. Make an appointment with your surgeon and she what can be done, there could be the possibility of a second chance. You have had so many health problems so don't beat up on yourself too bad. Forgive yourself and start thinking what is my next move. I wish you much happiness, no matter what you decide
  18. CONGRATS!!! You look awesome!
  19. I cried a lot too (LOL) I would make my mother come over and sit in my room with me or I made my daughter cuddle (She's 15 LOL) but about week 7/8 I was okay and asking everyone to leave me alone LOL It will pass it's the crazy hormones
  20. I was lucky I never drank Coffee and didn't drink soda often so it was easy to give up, but sometimes I feel like I don't have anything to drink so I'm now into the drink enhancers and there are tons of flavors
  21. It's a life style change and sometimes your the only one changing so you have to stand strong SOLO. It's hard no doubt. I still crave sweets, but I don't eat that anymore. PERIOD. I will eat some fruit or drink crystal light for sweetness. Eventually your body will stop wanting those things so bad. Be Strong because when you cross over you will have to be strong to be successful Best Wishes
  22. I wanna jog/run. I still have the dream. I'm going to try to get started, we all start from somewhere. Don't feel weird your in the gym working on it and that deserves RESPECT!
  23. Take one step at a time. It's an emotional journey I was scared then excited then in pain then felt great! There is a new life out there waiting for u... Go get it!!!!
