I used to lurk a long time ago, after my surgery (Feb 8, 2008).

I reached my goal and was fortunate enough to reach it quite quickly - all healthy eating. My Dr loves me for that! lol

But, in the last year, I've had so much stress, new medical problems, which meant more new meds and weight gain side effects, that I decided to come back here t get me on track again. I need the positive reinforcement and daily reminders. It's the first time in my life that I was comfort eating. I never want to do that again. I've really beaten myself up over it.

I'm fortunate enough to have an amazing supportive husband who's been with me through thick and thin (even does his own WW dieting when I really need some extra help staying on track.. and he's not even heavy!).

I guess I'm just looking for an uplifting place with lots of positive people who go through what I do and know how I feel.

Ok, there's my sad country song of the day.

Thanks for listening.

Hi there!!

I have yet to have the surgery...in the very beginning stages of the process but I know you can do it. You did it once so you can do it again. There will always be life challenges or things that get in the way....you just need to get back up on the horse and go at it again!!! I believe in you!!!
