Topic: RE: It's Inky
Yay, Inky's back!!!! Welcome back, girl. I've missed you.
Haven't had time to read and digest (eeps- food word!) all the notes in this string of them, but will come up with something more philosophical later. I'm not as regular in this forum as I have been, so I'm just now seeing this.
Later, A-Team.

I so understand what you mean. I don't have to have surgery again but every night I have this stomach that looks like I am 6 months pre. I look more preg now then I did when I really was!! I feel like a failure and I am starting to think I did it too soon. I feel better and my back no longer hurts but I am no way flat! And it has been 3 months! I go next thursday to see my surgeon and I just know he is going to be dissappointed in me!
I am keeping you in my thoughts and I know the surgery will go well and he will get you back to better in no time at all.

Hey Crystal! It's so great to see you again! Congratulations on your new love-that is just fabulous. Anc, congratulations on your weight and size 12-wow!
Topic: RE: It's Inky
Oh Inky, it's so great to see you! Seriously, you must know you are a success after losing 134 lbs, but I know EXACTLY how you feel. I'm still 50 lbs away from "goal" and despite wearing size 8 I sometimes feel like a failure. It's so comforting to know we're not alone. We can do this together! I don't know if this is helpful or not, but you may want to drastically increase your vitamin D3 (dry form). I take 5,000 ius twice a day and am thinking about adding a 3rd dose. There's lots of new evidence that people need a lot more than previously thought, and since we malabsorb, we really have to be on top of it. Vit D deficiency can cause depression and lethargy, so it's just a thought...
Topic: RE: Why do we Eat? What do we REALLY want?
Hi everyone-so nice to see all of you! I've been MIA but I'd love to chime in here. I also gained 5 lbs over the holidays and am so disappointed with myself. I'm still so far away from goal, and I can't believe I went this crazy. I was drinking tons of eggnog and alcohol, and eating sweets, and generally out of control for like 3 weeks. I am back on track now, but I know it will be a lifelong struggle. I see some of you who lose weight no matter what, and are worried about losing TOO much, and I just can't imagine what that must be like. As I type this I'm wearing size 8 pants, so on one level I know I'm a success, but to still be 50 lbs away from my goal at this point doesn't feel very good. I did watch Oprah, and I agree-when I'm eating what I really want is love, but I don't allow myself to be loved out of fear of abandonment or disappointment or whatever. I am a lot more aware of these issues now, but jeez, I'm 40, and they're just as fresh as when I was 20!

Welcome back Crystal! I'm so glad you found someone special and things are looking up for you. You had a rough year but you hung in there and now it sounds like things are going your way. I'm so happy for you! Check back soon and keep in touch. Miss hearing from you. Love & Hugs!
Topic: RE: Hi everybody
Hi Karen! Thanks for stopping in and giving us an update. It's always so good to hear from everyone to see how they are doing. It sounds like you've been through the wringer. That's a lot to deal with in one year... but I have a feeling that 2009 will be better than 08! This new year can be the beginning of a new and improved you, physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally! Re-create yourself for the better and if that means finding new friends that will support & encourage you then go for it! Take some time for yourself and let this new year be the year you get healthy in every area of your life! We owe this to ourselves and our families. We didn't come this far to fall back into depression and allow our cir****tances to dictate our happiness and eating habits. Hang in there and don't give up. We are here for you and many of us are going through similar situations so lets stick together and support one another! Welcome back!
