Totally devastated

If your co-worker has just quit smoking, she is probably cranky and making you feel bad makes her feel better, when deep down inside she's feeling like crap.

Be the better person...38 lbs is such an accomplishment and a motivation to me, who is only 2 day post-op. I only wish I was at the point I have losted 38 lbs pounds already. Keep up the great work! Focus on how your doing great and how many other people you are inspiring.

P.S. You didn't do it for nothing...you did it for yourself...and that's all that matters! :wink2:

I have to agree with a lot of the postings I see here. Does your co-worker have a weight problem herself? It's hard for those who have never had to cope with being obese to connect with our journey. My stepmother used to go absolutely nuts if she gained 5 or 10 pounds...but she was thin to start with, so in perspective, that was a big gain for her, and hard to get back off.

I also smile when I hear about people on WW, etc., who tell us that they are losing weight the "hard way". This is my second day post-op, walking my hallway last night, in so much discomfort with all that CO2 sitting under my diaphragm...now, THAT'S the hard way, folks!!

With persistance and patience, we will achieve success. Even the WW crowd struggles with plateaus (I sure did!). The heck with whatever anyone else says- you had the courage to do this, knowing that turning back would not be an option. Your weight loss to date ROCKS!!!
