I feel sympathy for you and know it seems so horrible right now but my ex-MIL told me once to remember that in five years you'll wonder why you were so worried - and you know what - she was right. Things have a way of working out, no matter how bad they are at the time. I will be praying for you.

not sure where Washington Mo is but is there a support group somewhere around you close , get to a meeting you will be surprised how much that helps...
you have gotten some great advice from the two girls before me...keep coming on here and im sure you will find someone on here that will click with your to help you thru some of this....sometimes we wonder where the phrase comes from that God wont give us more to handle than we can handle but reme,ber that if God brings us to a place he will also lead us out of it.
like they said you do know what you have to do and breaking the grazinjg habit is really hard...get rid of anything that is easy to eat or grab and eats....dont have them around ...make all the food you have be stuff that you have to stop and make a meal out of it. ...we are here for you in anyway we can be

You're so not alone in this!
We are under serious financial stress as well. I know where you are coming from.
Sorry to hear about your DH's diagnosis, and of course the loss of your dog. That is a lot all at once.
We have had some really tough days in the last few months, but I do have a great friend who said, "lets take a walk..." we didn't get too far, and I think one of the days I actually cried and walked, it just helped to get the emotions out. Now that the weather is better (at least for today~ damn Missouri) get outside, get some natural Vitamin D and let those emotions and endorphins out and let the strong woman you are come out, I know your strong you had WLS!
You know what to do in the food dept. Eat like you did the first two weeks home from surgery, and begin again. You have a great tool to help you, consider this a stall and start today. Clear your home of any food you can afford to live without.
As far as the job goes, I was let go and unemployed for 15 months with no unemployment (I worked for a Non-profit in MO and they don't have to pay unemployment grrrrr) I had to take 2 jobs, and currently I still have both of those, however one has now moved into full time. There is something out there for you, keep looking. I know its hard. but there is a job out there for you we just need to find it.
You have kept off over 100 pounds~ and that is wonderful!
Begin again today! You can do this!

I am sorry things have been so hard for you. I am in MO also but in Jeff Co. I am here if you want to talk. I could tell you all the stuff you already know about what you should be doing but you know all that. You know that over eating will only make your life and health worse. You are going through so much you need emotional support so if I can offer that I am here.

I am 17 months post-op, gastric bypass. Staring weight: 353 lbs. Lowest post-op weight: 227 lbs. Current weight: 249 lbs. Haven't lost a pound in the last 12 months. Emotional issues pushed me over the edge into constant grazing. Lost my job, been rejected for over 9 others in last 12 months, hubby got cancer, my dog died, house is falling down around us and no $$ to fix it...lotsa struggles, no outlet other than eating to comfort myself.
I don't have many friends. I need WLS friends I can talk to.
Anybody out there?

Jan,
By the way - no one posts on here anymore. They are all on Facebook and I really don't like Facebook. It's way too preachy for me. I read on there but rarely post. I think I'm just too old. But I sure do miss everyone.

Jan,
The sun is shining this afternoon but it is too chilly and breezy to actually say it's comfortable. BUT, we have enjoyed the sunshine. I've been at work all day - you'd better get back here before April 8 so you can be at the April COF meeting. Everyone is already missing you way too much. I don't envy you getting ready for the move but your new adventure sounds so fun. Not for me - but for you. I'm glad you can take Rebel. He'll love the farm.
Hugs,
Lana

Topic: RE: Hello everyone
I live in Kansas City south of the river so I'm kind of close to you. I have no idea though what you are talking about. Building block supplies?
You've done a great job with your weight loss!! I'm almost 3 years out and maintaining my 70 lbs. lost. Want to lose another 20-30 but I'm pretty happy where I am.

It is so beautiful or at least the weather is beautiful here ...im sitting on the front porch with my cup of protein coffee and barefooted typing this up...it is right now 62 degrees, actually my feet are a little cold but oh well they will warm up ...
I think my daughter and i are going to go get massages today...my back is in terriable shape and i need to see if they can fix it...she swears by them , we will see.
My youngest daughter checked herself into the re hab unit this morning. i talked to her this morning about 6am...she was on her way over there . I sure hope she gets lots out of it so she is able to learn to deal with things and can stay clean and sober the rest of her life. She sure hasnt had much of a life so far. maybe the rest of it can be calm and laid back and not think she has to deal with stress with stuff....just help me pray for her ok?
so what are you all doing today? what is the weather like at home. do i want to come home yet? lol
love you all
