  • Many of us struggled with weight all our lives. Many of us have failed numerous diets numerous times. We've finally broke down and got the surgery and then see the scale not budge. We automatically th

  • Wow, this is kinda harsh. Yes you are right that stalls are part of the process and that is a life style change but I am sorry that we get upset and even angry. When you do the life style change and

I agree. We need to remember where we came from. Take a step back and analyze your life up hntil the point of surgery and beyond. Again, REMEMBER where you came from...with this, you'll find empathy.

I find it fastinating that some have taken offense to this post. Usually when I see a topic I am not interested in being a part of, I dont read it or comment on it. I kniw the poster meant no judgement or harm. I understand and agree that it can get a bit much everyday seeing some post about a stall. They are upsetting , but a necessary part of the process. How we handle them is another issue. I cant come to your home or office and keep you from scarfing down brownies. We all make mistakes and sometimes stalls come from mistakes, sometimes not. The fact is, I cant help you through your stall. I have offered encouragement and advice to those in stalls, but really theres not much to say. We all know we have to scale back to basics or.just drive on and wait.it out.

Just saying.....

I always enjoy hearing from you!! You are always encouraging in your post to me. Please don't take a break!!
