Wondering why I beat myself up nearly every day….I've lost 87 pounds…what more do I want…and what is wrong with me!

You are doing so beautifully! It's hard to be gentle with ourselves when we need it most. Life is full and there's so much to juggle -- I sometimes feel like I'm not accomplishing what I "should" or meeting my own expectations. Positive self-talk has helped me -- like saying "TA DA" even when it feels silly, or looking in the mirror and genuinely liking the person I'm seeing, even just in that moment. Maybe it takes practice!

I was very sore after my surgery on 3/12. I had to ice my main incision several times because it was so sore. That helped a lot. I found myself looking at the message boards and thinking 'How are these people so pain free and doing to much after surgery?' I just chalk it up to everyone is different. Right now I am 10 days out and I still have some pain at the main incision site but I was able to spend most of the date out and about. I am hoping that I will be much better by Monday when I go back to work.

so under alot of stress my son is getting surgery and my old habit of eating when i am stressed has been nixed so WTF do I do now...I will figure it out just feel lost like I lost a best friend....or a friendenemy...

Hi Rayanne, thinking of you and sending best wishes for your son's surgery. I know what you mean about not having food to turn to the way we always did. That was my method of coping, too, and now when the stress amps up I need to find other outlets. Yelling in the car comes to mind. I never did that before -- I'm pretty soft-spoken. And walking -- I try to walk it off. Maybe some laps up and down the hallways at the hospital?
