I wanted to say Thank You! I love being able to come here and get help! Some feedback is not always nice, but good bad or ugly I respect all comments. Thank you, I have no where else to turn, and next to surgery, this is the next Best tool!

 Kris,

Living in or around Chicago you have a ton of resources around you.  Are you attending support groups?  You should be regularly.  Study after study shows patients tha attend groups have better results sustained for longer.

You express a lot of all or nothing thinking in your posts.  This is a classic thinking pattern in obesity patients.  Look for some psychological after care to help you through some of these issues.  It will ake a world of difference in your recovery.

OH is an awesome resource, but it should back up the networks you have in real life, not replace them.

Thanks for the reminder, I have not been to my support group in about a month.  I was going to just get brows down and then head to my exercise class today after work but I can stop in to my support group for at least 45 minutes.  Thanks again!!
