Need some support even for years out. In Triangle area preferably

[vsg_vixon300 0]

I am four years out from surgery and had initially lost 130lbs. Kept loosing until 2 years ago when I met my boyfriend. I then gained 40lbs back and have managed to loose 16lbs and have had a hard time getting back on track. I need someone to vent to, share ideas, and frustrations. Overall support from someone who understands the frustration of this journey.

I'm not as far out as you. I do catch myself getting complacent/comfortable and not working as hard at myself as I should. Congrats on loosing 16 on your own! I am trying to shake myself into motivation again. Send me a private message if you ever need to talk.

I am not in the Triangle area yet, but hope to be by the end of this year. Our house is on the market. I'm 9 months post-op, but I was in a stall for a month and realized I probably was eating too many carbs...funny how they sneak back in. So I have been doing mostly all Protein this week and have already dropped 2 1/2 pounds. It was hard to go back to being so strict, but worth it to see the scale move. I seriously have to ask myself daily, do you want that food (usually something sugary) or do you want to fit into smaller clothes and be healthy. It's hard, I knew it would be, but it's been totally worth it. If you would like to talk you can email me emmalou323@yahoo.com.

We all are so very sacred of gaining the weight back and we have to always work harder than the next person. I am always watching and praying that I never have to see large size clothes again . I hate being fat and looking big. I love not having to ask if they have My size. Yes we all will fall but just don't stay down.
