I loves ya baby!!! Please talk to your doc, ok? Do it today. Get a script for depression.

I agree! You are always so supportive of everyone on here. Now it's time for some self care! *hugs*

Hon, please call your doctor. Consider anti-depressants? You are going through so much right now!!! ((hugs)) And major prayers going out to you!

thanx bud-i'm tearing at your always nice thoughts for me - who loves you baby?

Oh good!!! That's ok then and that's why context is king.

Oh!!! It was the most light hearted joke. She's the one i confided in when I decided to go for sleeve surgery. She's totally on my side. Surprising in a Doctor but I absolutely 💜 her.

Wow, those kinds of comments can be very hard to process. What did you feel about it? What is the context for her remark?

We both giggled 😝

Kind of insulting 😬

Congrats! The time will fly by so fast girlie!

Dang! So sorry to hear this. Pity party on, Wayne!!!

Oh no! That's the worst...
I'm so sorry 💜

I'm so sorry. It takes so long to grow it back (hug)

Happy Purim! Glad he saved yall!

Could just be a temporary stall. If you want to lose more, change things up a bit and keep working the master plan!!! Congrats on your losses. That's fabulous!!!

Awww! Thank You!! Muah!

Make a goal list each day 1-10. Make it easy things. Achievable things. Check it off as you go. Like for instance:
1. Get up/brush teeth/wash face/brush hair/dress warm.
2. Walk for 5 minutes (even if it's walking in place to Leslie Sansone or Richard Simmons from youtube). Do this 3 times a day. Morning/Noon/Night. Walk 5 minutes if you are feeling sad, depressed, anxious, or like caving and eating.
3. Plan meals/eat meals as planned. No snacking.
4. Drink your 100oz of water. (No sugary drinks or drinks with caffeine or calories. Break up with diet drinks.)
5. Watch comedies and laugh.
6. Breath deep. Look up "four square breathing" techniques and do them as exercise 3-4 times per day or when you feel anxious or sad.
7. Break up with any nicotine or drugs (like weed).
8. Pray or meditate for 20 minutes.
9. Journal your thoughts from today.
10. Go to bed at the same time/cover your eyes for total darkness/set clock and wake at the same time each day.
11. Optional but hard at this time...get outside to get fresh air and sunshine for at least 20 minutes per day.

Make your own list. This is kinda how I started out...

I stalled out in January as well. Maybe from less activity in the cold weather? Anyway, you've had amazing success so far. Hope all continues well with your journey, whether losing or maintaining.

Thank you for that. I know the surgery won't solve my relationship with food. Sometimes I feel like I make all the worst decisions. I've actually been trying to get therapy since the summer. No one calls me back. Until like now. I have an appointment later on this month. Looking forward to it. I try to take it day by day. I spend each day thinking about why I should be excited for the next day. Idk if that's a good solution to my unhappiness but it's what I got for now until I see a doc.

Sorry you didn't get into the "thing" at school. But I do think now is the time to focus on surgery. Start working on your habits now. Get a therapist. Work through the whole comfort eating thing with them cuz true life...surgery will NOT cure this food relationship hon. We have to do our headwork and it's the hardest part!

Girl! Super congrats!!!! Like these ladies have said, you've done the hard part! Now just take it one meal at a time/1 day at a time and do this thing! SMASH it! Set those short term goals. You'll break into onderland before you know it. You're so close!!!! You can doooo eeettttt!
