HI Scott, I understand your frustration as I go for in for my nineth check on Friday. From what I see you have done great with regards to your weight loss. As you know this surgery did not come with any guarantees, but to do what it has done for you so far. If your back is giving you problems then have it fixed. I had it done and the doctor told me that it would last for about five years and that was fifteen years ago. We all get to the point where the newness of our weight loss wears off, but then that's when we should embrace life and move forward, not looking back to the old life we left behind. As you are well aware life is full of problems whether cause by being over weight or otherwise and we must meet those problems face to face and overcome them by the power of our own determination not to fall victim to them in defeat. May God grant you His all sufficient grace to be more than a conqueror! -Bill-

WTG Cathy on not giving into the candies & desserts. I have been very bad & weak. I ate 5 pieces of dark chocolate just this week. That's why I commend you it is soooo hard not to give into temptation when its all around and what we were used to. Keep up the good work! Elisa

Julie, I am so sorry to hear what you are going through with your parents. It is sad that your mother is playing your father. As they say love is blind and your father maybe trying to hang onto his marriage especially if they have been married for any length of time. Love is unconditional, but trust is something that is earned. Do not be angry at your father because he is going through some major pain himself. You are right as well when most of us will say you need to get into some kind of counseling. It will help and you also need to think of your son. As you know eating is not the answer and will only cause you more problems down the road. You are too young to allow yourself to go back to where you first started on your journey. Please do not give up.. Fight if not for yourself then for your son! Your parents have to work this out between them. You cannot be their mediator because that puts you in the middle. You do have every right to be angry at your mother, but remember she is still your mother. God Bless -Bill-

Hey that's Great! Congratulations!!!! You are doing so good. God Bless you -Bill-
