Topic: RE: Weightloss Buddy
I think the meetings are the first and third Wednesdays of each month, not sure how many people have been attending lately since I've been missing in action the past couple of months, though.

Topic: Prayer Request
Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been around much lately, Doug's mom's condition got worse and I was focusing on helping him take care of her. Well this morning at 12:04am her pain ended and she went home to be with the Lord. It was sad to watch her go, but I am so blessed to have known and loved such a wonderful lady.
The prayer concern comes for the family, especially Doug. He is going to have a really hard time not having her calling his name every 5 seconds. So in your prayers or thoughts please just keep him in there and pray that he gains the strength he needs to continue his life without her.
Thank you so very much.

Topic: RE: fear or what
Great post Cecilia.
I also find myself sometimes paralyzed by not only a fear of failure, but a fear of success as well. And I am working very hard right now on creating my own happiness instead of basing my day's "success" on other people's actions and opinions. It is tough.
I really regret not instituting a better food and exercise regimen when I was a brand-new post-op, because it sure is hard now to get a routine going now at almost five years out. My current "excuse" to not exercise is weather-related . . . too cold . . . but you know what, in another few weeks it will be too hot LOL.
The best motivator is watching that scale move in the downward direction, period.
I started to buckle down on Thursday of last week foodwise -- went out and bought Lean Cuisines, fresh vegetables, protein-rich snacks, etc. Thursday/Friday/Saturday were good days, but I wound up snacking each night and blowing my progress for the day.
Since Sunday, though, I've been on track with no cheating foodwise, and the scale is showing a 5-lb loss. Now that momentum has started it is a bit easier for me to say no to stress-eating.
As far as the Advil goes . . . they say that NSAID-type pain relievers can irritate your stomach lining, and perhaps cause ulcers. I have fibromyalgia and occasionally need to take something for pain, but I've had no problems with anything containing ibuprofen. Then again, I'm not taking it on a daily/regular basis, either . . .

Topic: fear or what
i make any excuse not to do anything. from too windy to what ever.
i am scared of what could be. i know i would be happier but.
i set myself up to fail time and time again.
as if i really like being miserable.
i have it in my mind it is too hard. but find it is harder overall to stay. if i stay here i will be unhappy w myself. i know i really want something else. but i am afraid.
this may make sense to others. -makes absolute sense to me.
i gotta push past the fear i have allowed in.
i have to stop relying on others for my happiness. waiting at home for some one (male) to call me or get around to come over is not working. later i feel i have wasted a day. and i have. later, i get upset w myself for waiting.

the doc has told me not to take Advil types of meds. i understand his point of view. my point of view is my body hurts.

Topic: RE: clothes exchange. .
Celia, Brought all my bigger sizes to meetings so anyone could have them on their way down thru the sizes. Could get expensive buying clothes. Bare Essentials on 202 in Talleyville does bra fittings. They are wonderful. Save your $$ though. Cost about $45 bucks or so. But they sure do look and feel good on. LOL. ((HUGS)) Elissa
