Poke out my eyes please! - I have a pretty good relationship with my worker partner and she knows a lot about my life.  She does not, however, have a clue about what life is like at over 300 pounds.  On m...

Craving Change - I saw in another post that MB people are taking this as part of the program.  Is it offered at the Vic or independently?  I need to take it for the Edmonton program but I've not...

so discouraged - I want to cry.  Last April I joined this site courtesy of Rainyone and I just went on a change-my-life spree.  I didn't qualify for surgery here in Winnipeg because at my highes...

Hiding - Hi guys. I'm tired. I can say that here because I know you understand.  I have wasted the last 6 weeks.  Up and down.  Up and down.  Up and well still up. In one month I g...
