Topic: RE: What are you celebrating and proud of? Weds
Thanks! I use my DVD's, but I know that gym workout is better. Now that I finally made it back to the gym I will use DVD's for lazy days and as a 2nd option if no time to go to gym. I had not been in over a year and it was just great getting back with old acquaintances, etc.

Topic: RE: I'M BACK....to OH board and WW!
I lost 20 on opti fast and the other 8 I lost on my own. I was supposed to have RNY on March 31 but it got postponed. I had already been on 3 weeks optifast in preparation for surgery and that's when I lost the 20 lbs. When my surgery got postponed I started hanging around on this message board and was able to keep off the 20 and lose an additional 8 so I'm gonna stick around here for a bit and see what happens. If all else fails surgery will still be an option but it's worth a try if I can avoid having my innards rearranged. Like Skylar says, there's nothing wrong with my digestive system so I figure I better address the real problem of my health and lifestyle and get my mind fixed which I would have to do with or without surgery anyway if I'm going to have long term success. I think there's no point in me risking all the complications of surgery only to be back where I started 2 or 3 years down the road if I don't get my head right. 
I'm in the process of changing my diet, relationship with food and my lifestyle. I'm in training for maintaining.

Good job Molly!!! 
I agree with you, I can't get into the DVD's...I own a bunch and they just sit on a shelf.

Yes, I joined Monday....so will definitely be posting my results every Monday! Making that committment ups the accountability factor for me! I tend to self sabotage after a couple of weeks, so need to stay accountable.

Kudos to you! 
You should celebrate for getting under 200....focus on something non-food related. A new dress, pair of pants, a new handbag or some bling!!! Treat yourself good with something you can enjoy for months/years to come.
Let us know if you find some new yummy recipes...... I always like to try something new.

I could relate to this.....I used to sabotage my weight loss. I'm glad I recognized it and worked on it so I overcome it.
Thought I'd share this wih you....
Shedding Light On Ourselves
Parts That Don’t Want To HealWhen we choose that which is not best for us, there can be a deep seated part of us that does not want to heal.
In almost every case, we know what is best for us in our lives, from the relationships we create to the food we eat. Still, somewhat mysteriously, it is often difficult to make the right choices for ourselves. We find ourselves hanging out with someone who leaves us feeling drained or choosing to eat fast food over a salad. We go through phases where we stop doing yoga or taking vitamins, even though we feel so much better when we do. Often we have no idea why we continue to make the less enlightened choice, but it is important that we inquire into ourselves to find out.
When we choose that which is not best for us, the truth can be that there is a deep seated part of us that does not want to heal. We may say it’s because we don’t have the time or the energy or the resources, but the real truth is that when we don’t take care of ourselves we are falling prey to self-sabotage. Self-sabotage happens unconsciously, which is why it’s so difficult to see that we are doing it. The important thing to realize is that this very part of us that resists our healing is the part that most needs our attention and love. Even as it appears to be working against us, if we can simply bring it into the light of our consciousness, it can become our greatest ally. It carries the information we need to move to the next level in our healing process.
When we recognize that we are not making healthy choices, we might even say out loud, “I am not taking care of myself." Sometimes this is the jolt we need to wake up to what is actually happening. Next we can sit ourselves down in meditation, with a journal, or with a trusted friend to explore the matter more thoroughly. Just shining the light of our awareness on the source of our resistance is sometimes enough to dispel its power. At other times, further effort is required. Either way, we need not fear these parts that do not want to heal. We only need to take them under our wing and bring them with us into the light.
