Topic: RE: Friday Nugget of Encouragement
Bryna,
What a great idea! I know we are all at the same standstill, and need some motivation to get back on track. I have been getting really ****y with my diet. I still have not tried sugar, pasta, rice, bread or tortillas. BUT . . . I have tried beer. I can tolerate beer and it helps with constipation. Good excuse, huh? I have not gained any weight from it, but I know I have to stop. At least I drink Bud Select with only 3 carbs. Please help me get back on track. I want to lose another 5 pounds before my one year follow-up on the 20th.

Thank you for posting this today...I'm such a mess lately.
I need a little motivationto lose those last 5 pounds. 5 LOUSY POUNDS!!! That's all I have to loe to reach my personal goal. I've already surpassed my surgeon's goal by 20 pounds. But I don't want to give up but I've lost my focus. I find myself reaching for my old comfort foods: chips and pasta.
So...I'm up for the challenge. WE CAN DO THIS!!! This has been the most amazing year of my life. I've discovered things about myself that I never knew before and have re-discovered things that I had long forgotten.
When I see someone wearing an article of clothing or a pair of shoes I like, I come right out and say it to the person. I an usually learn about a great new place to shop and I give a compliment to someone who might need it.
The definition of beauty is different for everyone. For me, it's about feeling good about myself, not about what I wear or what cosmetics I use. For me it goes much deeper than that...
Have a great week everyone, we'll meet back herenext Friday for another "nugget"!!!
Love,
L*

Okay guys....I did get some great responses to my reality check and as we all enter out 12th month, we are getting frustrated, discouraged, down BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!!! WE ARE ALL LOSERS compared to where we were last year. We are not where we want to be but PRAISE GOD we are not where we were....look at the glass half full and KEEP POURING UNTIL IT IS FILLED TO THE RIM!!!!
I am going to try my best to post every Friday. I want you guys to know we CAN do this. We are winners, we are Losers, we are FIGHTERS BABY!!!! We are doing this for us, for those we love and for us...did I already say that??? Get it through your heads.....say this with me.....I AM ALMOST THERE, I AM WORTH THE FIGHT and I WILL MAKE MY GOAL!!!! The little engine that could...remember the childhood story? I think I can, I think I can!!! You can!!
If you want, we can have a weekly challenge...a pound or two, droping calories to try to kick start our metabolism, increasing exercise, giving up ONE of the bad habits we started back...don't try to give them all up at once, you will sabotage yourself!!! Pick one and I will go there with you...my personal goal for next week is 3 pounds...I want 175 more than life itself at this point....anyone up for the challenge??????
NUGGET FOR FRIDAY March 31st: Did anyone ever tell you how beautiful you look when you are looking for something beautiful in someone else?? Feel better about yourself by finding something good about someone else and tell them....let them know and then pass on my nugget....you will be amazed at how it improves your disposition!!!! You will geel good about yourself and not reach for the chips, cookie, candy bar...whatever you may think you NEED to feel better!!! Honey, it comes from the inside....nothing external can improve the way you feel about you....look inside yourself....
Have a great weekend and I will talk to you soon.
If you need me before next Friday....just e-mail me or reply to this post. I am not an inspirational person but I know where WE ALL ARE and I want us all to get to our goals TOGETHER!!! We were down for too long to stop now......I believe in you...now it is time for you to start believing in yourself!!!!
Joyfully,
Bryna Grant

Dayna..
DO NOT LET THAT GUY'S STUPID COMMENT GET YOU!! There are probably thousands of other people who saw you that weekend and wished they were your size...when I was 310....at 5'4" I would have loved to be 170's ...you are a beautiful person and he was a drunk redneck without common decency...there is no call for what he did and it really shouldn't count for anything because you MUST consider the source. I know exactly what you are feeling and I will pray for your feelings....sticks and stones may break our bones but words can pierce our heart, no matter who they are from....I know. But you have to remind yourself of how far you have come and DO NOT let the stupidity of one person dissolve all you have worked for this past year.
I am here if you need ANYTHING!! Just e-mail me.

Hi Gina 
I have my 1 year followup appointment with my surgeon on my re-birth date April 6th. 
After that appointment, I'm not sure what I'll be doing, but someone mentioned a spa visit - that sounds nice. Maybe I'll treat myself to a massage and facial.
