needing some away time again...

I'm going down fast here,  feeling really down and depressed and very tired of no scale action.  Might need some time off again.  I'll be back in a few i'm sure, just didnt' want you to wonder if I was ok.  I sucked  at this pre op and post op, just can't dedicate myself.  Where can you buy dedication?  Ya'll have a great weekend.

Hey....pick yourself up, dust yourself off.....you can do this!!!  We all have the same problem at some point when the scales don't move....mine haven't moved in two months....still 216....I exercise everyday...Richard Simmons(love those tight red shorts!!lol) or my Wii Fit....and still no moving of the numbers down!!!  Just keep pecking away and doing the best you can, remember we are all human!! 

I haven't moved since Christmas and have been up as much as 4 # since...hang in there...it is dedication to myself....love YOU and choose YOU, you are so worth it, your voice is needed here on the board to allow the rest of us to cheer or whine or cry or rejoice...and most of all to be JOYFUL you have lost 60# how can that possibly be a bad thing????or a failure??????

Cheryl, you do what you need to do to take care of youself - but keep in mind we are here for you.

Sometimes how you look at things can affect your success. I suspect each and every one of us has or does feel the way you do right now - I know I have for more years than I care to remember.

When I got desperate enough to face the need of having weight loss surgery, I also was at the point that not only did I need to make changes - but I wanted the outcome of making those changes enough to do it. I wanted my health more than I want fat, sugar, booze, cigarettes - whatever. It hasn't been easy - I don't know if it every will be easy - but feeling better about my health sure as heck in the long haul is better for me than overeating, drinking, smoking with friendes - and you know what - I can still have fun with my friends without all that stuff.

I did a lot of work on behavior modification before and after surgery and continue so - have you ever read or talked to a counselor about behavior modification? Perhaps that might be something for you to look into for some help? It sucks, but surgery is not a magic bullet - we still have to work the tool - regardless of what you tool is.

Cheryl  you will be missed  but remember   leaving on the weekend does not give you a  free ticket to  do the wrong things  ie   ****tails,  chips   chocolate

ok ok you can have one of each   but that is it.

Take care just teasing we all need time to ourselves sometime.   Hope you are feeling better soon!!!!

Hey don't feel bad! I am up 7lbs!  Throw away the damn scale!! Don't leave us when you need us the most! You don't need that scale!!  Really you don't!  And we need YOU just as much as you need us! 

i haven't lost anything since august. i haven't gained either. thank goodness for that. i also started going to the tanning bed this week because i've been feeling down. i feel great after so probably have a bit of the seasonal depression. plus it gives me some me time. hang in there chicky.

Good thing I don't know where you live, I'd have to come kick you in the butt!  That's what I would expect you to do for me!!!!  Well, hang in there. Try to do some things this weekend that are for YOU and not everyone else. (I know, easier said than done)

What everyone has said is SO true!  You gotta do what's right for you but know that you are missed when you aren't around here!  You are ALWAYS here for us and I sure hope we can be here for you too!  Vent, yell, do whatever you need to do for YOU!!!!!  BUT.......we'll still be here waiting for you!!!!!
I KNOW I'LL miss you!!!!!!!!!  Please keep in touch when you can!   (Throw away that scale!!!!!)
Hugs,
Ruth

I really do not know what to say other than I will miss you, I really look foward to reading your posts, they always make me chuckle. You need to take care of you though. Do what you need to and know that all these wonderful people are here for you whenever you need them. I hope you are not gone too long, my surgery is just 19 days from now and I need all the support I can get now..
take care
