Topic: RE: Truro Support Group Meeting with guest speaker - Feb 19
Hope to see you at one of the meetings sometime soon (hope the weather gets better really soon!! lol) I go to the VSG forum & this one pretty much - some people can be REALLY cruel, on the other hand, there are people who get their kicks from posing as one of 'us' and being ridiculous in one way or another - I like it here with our little NS family too! lol
Topic: RE: 13 Weeks Out!!
Dani, I had my surgery in 1985 and hated exercising. It wasn't until 1997 that I decided I wanted to get rid of the rest of my weight and started with Richard Simmons videos - I know he is hard to take but having large women in doing the exercises helped my mind set. I eventually bought a treadmill and wherever it has been moved is ok with me as long as the control from my gameboy reach it - I play Tetus II while I walk. Since I walk at 5:30am it is hard to play music or watch a movie without waking up the rest of the household. I also have free weights, walking videos (Leslie Sansome) and an exercise ball - and am constantly changing up my routine. Boredom does not help to keep on track.
I also have to agree with your statement about this being "an easy way out of my problem" - it only it was easy. Everyday you deal with what to eat and what not to eat - what will work and what won't. You have the right attitude - this was a tool to get you started. After 26 years, and 4 children I am finally where I want to be and I am able to maintain my current weight without too much work. Keep the faith - keep changing your types of exercise and you will find something that you enjoy doing and works for you at the sametime.
Congrats on the 71lbs.

Thanks so much for all your work on the support group meeting. I do plan to go to one of these meetings when the weather gets better!. Do you ever go on the Ontario forum? My God they are cruel on there.One poor woman has been asking silly questions after her surgery and they are tearing her apart with name calling etc. There are about 4 or 5 of them that are calling her a troll .I'm glad our NS group is much friendlier!

Dani I love your honesty, it's so important to hear the negative as well as the positive! You are doing great We're all here for support!

Wow, Dani, first just let me say you are great with words! What you said was very poetic for me! It's funny we all seem to have the same experiences, and you summed it up very well when you said 'every morning I have to reprogram my inner self' That is SO true - and the number on the scales determining your mood for the day... Very well said!
71 lbs in 13 weeks is OUTSTANDING!! It took me months to get there - You are doing FANTASTIC girl!! :)) Keep it up and don't be shy with sharing your secrets!! lol
