  14. why don't you go out and do some walking or exercise, i think it would definitely help clear your mind, and get you away from having bad thoughts. another good idea is to call some friends, go out and have a good time.....you're young, you're healthy and you're beautiful, NOTHING to be depressed about!!! goodluck

  20. when i eat chinese food, i try to be really careful and eat some white rice, with steamed veggies....some soup too.
  21. i shared the news with my closest family and they were all very supportive.....it feels great when you know you have everyone´s support and you feel more motivated. :confused:
  22. sligthly cheated but definitely did my best to keep it.
  23. my surgeon is dr aceves as well......and i haven´t had that problem at all......are you in southern california? is there any way that you could contact dr aceves? or do you have to go with your doctor?
  24. haven´t had any problems drinking at night. and i do try to drink little when having my meals.
  25. the good thing is you´re healthy and that you know you´re losing weight, be positive as you said, what i did was started doing more exercise, after that everyone started noticing the weight loss.....try it.....i´m sure you´ll have positive results....goodluck
