No game

Have you considered counseling? A good counselor can really help with your anxiety and help you get to the bottom of whys... I have a counselor that I work with still....

Was it because of the ER non prescribed hydrocodone thing? Will they have that in all of your records for every doctor? I may go against the general consensus here but having some counseling under your belt might not be a bad thing.. I have worked for years with one before doing this and still need her guidance now as things come up. This surgery and the weight loss can bring up lots of things that food covered up.

My fast day too! My husbands home today so it makes it a bit harder, that man loves to eat! And we are taking the kids shopping for school clothes, oh how they love mall food ! Great loss Georgia! I'm secretly hoping I'll lose a pound this week Oh and welcome back M2G clk and daisy will be back soon??

I was thin! In between being fat that is.. Thin, fat, thin, fat.. I've done this so many times I can't even count.

I'm a lazy eater and cook. I boil a chicken about once a week or so, shred the meat off and use it all week i put i on salads or eat it plain or with a bit of cheese. Or I dry fry a pack of cut up tofu and snack off of that through the week I eat it plain or dip it in hummus. I don't need fancy as long as I'm "filling the hole" I'm good.

Like your stars and stripped shorts? Sorry couldn't resist You've come so close though.. I'm still quite I bit out. But you were right in what you told me a little while ago, I'm not done, I'm still in the early stages in the grand scheme of things.. I had a fantasy of posting that "goal" thread at one year out... I think I've been seeing the months fall in on me lately, getting closer and all movement here has stopped so its put me in a panic. It's funny I the beginning I wanted the six months at goal thing. I knew soon after I would not be one of those. So I put a year. But in the back of my mind I thought I was going to easy on myself. Now I need to reevaluate again. Wow forgive my rambling! I want to know what you guys feel about your personal goals.. If anyone is still out there!

This is hands down the best advice! Lol I've been up late not sleeping thinking, thinking, thinking! Deedadumble, goals yes I don't think anything as lofty as those though I'm lazy I went hiking this weekend though and I felt great.....

Wow two really good points of view ladies! I must be in a really big internal struggle.. Because your words brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for helping me uncover what's going on here. I'm older so maybe I was aiming for the stars..

I'm counting them as whatever your counting them as! With your weight loss we should be asking you the questions

I wanted to say that as of today I am the same weight as the above post.., It has not gone lower it just bounces from 162 and 163 .

I've been thinking a lot about this. All week as a matter of fact... I wonder what would happened if I just let it be, Not spend everyday with one thing on my mind, goal. I have my ticker and I see it and believe I have to make it move. I set that number and now I must make it! I don't have a ticker in real life, But this damn ticker drives me. And right now it's driving me crazy! I picked this number and I feel I must get to it or I won't be a success.. That I will have failed another weight loss attempt. I have moments where I break through and say how silly is that! I move, I hike, I take no medications how can that not be a success! BMI BMI BMI... I was trying to explain to my mother today why I need to lose more, I need that BMI. Of course she goes by looks and I look good to her.. But if I don't make that BMI, will I feel I failed again? And in failing will I gain weight again???

I felt incredible peace, I knew that this body, this life was was temporary and soon I would be free. But that's not to say that what your feeling isn't normal. We all go through mourning at some point. I think for a lot if us mourning happens in the first month. When all sorts of other "fun" things are happening! We all get hit with just how much food meant to us, yes we are all fat and food tastes good (duh) But food was so much more, it soothed our hurts, it helped us Celebrate our happy times, it was our late night friend. It never judged us or let us down.. After surgery we don't have our friend our confidant to lean on anymore. We are left to navigate our feelings on our own. Mourning... Yes we all mourn, it just sounds like your ahead of the curve.

Wow plastics.. I go back and forth how I feel about them too. I'm not a very high maintenance type of girl, I like some things about getting older. My wrinkles are ok and l don't dye my grey hair, I feel like I earned it.. But really I cannot get to that place with certain parts of my body. Namely my thighs. I have a ways to go yet, but if money where no object I might do the thighs just so I can live with some ease in my own head. Oh and wear shorts and go swimming!

Look at you! I'm glad things are going well for you again! And might I say you are moving on with style! Looking good my friend

Oh my dream! A swimsuit!!

Thank you for you well wishes! Im sorry i don't understand, What group are you talking about? Oh and Just a suggestion... But if she is doing something that is really bothering you, send her a pm to let her know she's saying things that are "hurtful"?
