I spent Friday morning at the gym walking in the pool.  I thought it would be less stressful. Boy was I wrong. By Friday afternoon my stomach hurt something horrible so I place a call to Tarayn that evening.  By Saturday morning I could hardly move and my stomach hurt like it did just after surgery.  I was worried so I called and had Dr. Tom pages.  He said I probably pulled something and to use a heat pad and take tylenol. It is now night and nothing is working.  I can't stand up straight, I can't sleep on my side I can only find comfort flat on my back in my sleep number bed.  I am supposed to go back to work on Monday.  The problem is it hurts to sit up and climbing steps is a bi*ch.  I work in a turn of the century fire house that only had one long steep staircase.  Just shoot me know.  I hope Sunday will be a better day.

Today I joined a gym!  Now don't get excited, it's not one for all those young fit scary  types but one for those over 40.  I spent 2 hours there working out.  I did 30 min. on the treadmill, tried the bikes (yuck) then went to the warm pool to do and 1.5 hours.  It was great. I plan to go back tomorrow morning and then on Saturday go to the Aquatic Cardio. 

My daughter is home came home from BGSU just to see me.  The first thing she said was I can see you lost weight in your face already.  If I didn't already love her already...this would make me.  

I am staying positive and looking forward to tomorrow.

I attended my first Support Group meeting last night.  I learned about Obesity Help and all the support you can find on the network that I thought I would give it a try. 

To tell you the truth I wouldn't mind if the had a group meeting every week.  It's so much easier to talk to people who are/were like you as they understand what it is for you, that food is an addiction and that we don't want to live this way.

Why is it that people in general can understand the problems of a drug or alcohol addiction but not a food addiction? It's not all about "willpower".

I look forward to the support that this site and the support meetings will bring.  I am in no way saying my family is not supportive...it's just there all thin and don't understand. Maybe it's just me.

Signing off for now...I don't sleep much but morning comes early.
