HEY LOSERS

Hey losers....i have missed you all so much though i have spoke with some, i know i have been a bad loser..but trust me so much stress i can not even begin to know how to tell it all....of course ole eddie the end of June went back in community south for a week and lost over 1/2 his blood again due to an ulcer... I have nights i can not sleep...i am a mess and i have gained 12 pounds.....feels like 50, amazing 12 pounds and size 10 and 12's and what 12 pounds will do to that......heck when i was 292 i would not have known anythig about 12 pounds up or down...it will soon be time to get back on track...and not that i have ate bad bad things, but i have been so depressed i sit in my chair 24/7 and keep control of the remote....have not done anything and amazing how i now have a tummy......with 12 pounds.... anyway i am back and hugs to all and hope to get to know some of you losers.........that are new to this............

Hey Angie, good to see you on,.  Glad you are getting back on track, I havent done much this summer, I have had custody of three grandkids and the welfare dictates every thing they do , i cant leave them with any one outside our household etc etc.  i have been pretty much strapped here at home with them all summer,   I did make the clothing exchange and was so happy to meet every one, i still didnt get to meet them all but  it sure was nice to get out and put some faces to the names.  I am stalled really bad, i am about 10 lb from my goal and havent lost in months, what a bummer,  i did have a consult with a plastic surgeon and am waiting for insurance approval for a TT. that might raise my spirits lol . if insurance dont pay it aint happenin.   Take Care,  Carla

Angie, It sure lifted my spirits to see you post! I have really missed you girl! Now remember...when things are bad, that is when you need your friends the MOST! And hon, we are your friends on here and we care very much about you, about Ed, and about all that touches your lives. That said, surgery sister, our 3 years is coming up so fast! Can you believe it???? 3 years! So... put that darn remote control down and get your butt in gear! That's my 'tough love' coming out. I believe that giving in to depression only makes you further depressed...so...pretend that all is well and sooner or later, your depression will ease up and you'll find it much easier to cope with whatever comes your way. And yep, I know you've had a helluvalot to come your way. But I know you can get through it! No, not alone maybe...but with the support and encouragement of your friends! We're here for you hon. You have my email. You have my phone number. I expect you to use them!!! huggs to you & to Ed.... Sherri

Angie,   Its so great to see that u are back.  I have missed you.  Missed you keeping us posted on when the 1/2 price days are at the Goodwills too.   Which reminds me.  The ones in Ohio have had 1/2 price days every Sat in Aug to bring ppl in to the stores.  They didnt do that in the Indiana ones...but I stocked up in OHIO!!! Well good to see you posting.  U can always post and keep that remote in your hand if u miss it to bad...lol.  Dont stay a stranger.

Hi, my name is Megan and I am sorry to hear about everything going on... All I want to say is you cant get all depressed... I just want to say fight the depression... When I get depressed I look at whatever is making me depressed(friends, family, illness whatever) and that is my encouragement. I am sure you worked VERY VERY hard to lose your weight... You cant gain it back... Even if it is just to walk around the hospital. My grandfather was VERY VERY SICK over the summer and that made me VERY depressed. I was getting physically ill... what I am trying to get at is you dont want everyone stressing about you... depression is a normal thing... especially after these surgeries. I would honestly talk to the doc and see what would be good for your depression. I know one thing the doc will say that helps depression is exercise. I am sure that it is just because of the stress you are gaining weight. I really do wish you much luck and I will be praying for your family. I dont want to sound rude but I am sure you worked VERY HARD to get where you are.... My mom had the surgery and has been up and down... GOOD LUCK and keep your head up!

I just wanna cover you in a million and one uber super duper hugs.... Jodi

Angie, So glad to see you post.  We've really missed you.  I was hoping to see you at the clothing exchange.  Hope to see you on here more.  Like Sherri said, we're your friends and support.  You have my email, drop me a line.  I'm sure some of us will be getting together again soon, hope you will join us.   Floyd

Hi Angie,  Funny, I'd just asked Sherri if she'd heard from you lately- I / we have missed you!!! I have kept you & Ed in my thoughts, and hope you can find some time for yourself soon! It is so hard to deal with things on your own, thats why we need you as much as you need us!!! I know what a trap that tv. can be, since I've been sick for a few days it has been my companion. Now girlfriend, call us, reach out, lets get-togehter & have some girl time-even if just for a cup of decaf tea/coffee. I have missed your smiling face!! (((lots of hugs))) Ellen
