A encouraging word to the stuck stayer..

Nov 02, 2016

I didn't know I needed this kind of acceptance and support, OH has made me feel like I was normal..I always felt so alone in the struggle..Like I can conquer ALL the things I have, but can't. lose weight and keep it off? I can't exercise and stick to it. With chaffed inner thighs and aching knees, I have been thru more pain than that!  

But its way more than mindful will power for me. And apparently LOTS of us. So I finally realized i wasn't broken or damaged goods. I was,and am human! After that, I was able to let go of the junk food,fast foods and chocolate cakes. My only emotional food issue was ,I would eat to punish myself. Since I couldnt lose the weight I would get depressed by a bunch of crap food, sugar filled sodas,cereal  and just allow myself to eat and drink what I wanted. Not a binge,more of I just dont care-might as well not losing any weight anyway!

Once I realized I was punishing myself for being, weak or  not good enough a light bulb went off and I cut that bad habit up and buried it! 

I'm still in Post op stage,true. However, I was once a Wonderer, a thinking about it-er, a page lurking inspiration seeking-er, a that's just their story won't be mine thinking-er. But, now I am a small step taker, a modest risk taker and life lover. Come join me on the darks side, lots of shade and lemons to make lemonade.

I hope this helps someone as reading so many life stories helped me!!
