 I have been down in the dumps lately so what do I do?? Yes that's right I turned to my old enemy food and gained some weight ! How could I do this ??  I am so dissappointed in myself. I was doing so well and getting so close to onederland and I go and mess it up. I just needed to share in hopes to turn myself around instead of wallowing deeper and gaining even more. Need your support and prayers please and any advice as far as support groups or even counselor would be appreciated.

Hey girl!  I know how you feel, because I've done the same thing.As I start getting closer and closer to that magic number, I find myself sabotaging my dietary needs.  That old friend we have will never leave.  Unlike alcohol, we have to have food in our house.  not only for ourselves, but for our children.  So what do we do?   We start by acknowledging there is a problem and going from there.  Where is there?  I don't really know.  But understand this, we are here for you in prayer, thought and any other thing you need!  If you need anything, give me or Beth a call!

Thanks so much Scott. It helps to know others have experienced the same thing and also knowing I have such wonderful friends makes things so much better.

I so know how you feel!!!!    I say this as I sit at the computer with a Kroger bag of SF food at my feet!  Food is my greatest enemy and my best friend!  My scale actually went in the southern direction this a.m. and I'm not sure how with the amount of SF junk I have consumed.   I keep it away from Scott, it's "MY" stash.  he will know about it when he reads this.  He says he has no will power,  I know that to be so not true.  He has done remarkably well and I have not.   Don't beat yourself up over this, it to shall pass.  We are here for you as you are for us.  And BTW , if you have any Girl Scout cookies left, get rid of them, they are the work of the food devils!!!  LOL.   Take care and call if you want to.

Thanks beth. Yes I have thrown away the girl scout cookies except for the ones that belong to other people. I have gone through the house and thrown away all the carbs and valentines candy my kids got. Yeah my kids are gonna love me for that but I just can't have it around right now. Thanks for your support !

Juanita STOP IT! STOP IT! Put the food down pick up the pictures!!! The fat pictures the thin pictures look at them NO really look at them remember how bad you felt obese remember how good you look and how happy you were the day you took the family photo with the girls. We hell I am not going to allow you to backslide!!! You deserve everything you have worked for, your girls deserve everything their new Mom has to offer. They will live without the candy they will not live without their Mom! Every time you think you want to eat CRAP you pick up your tennis shoes and walk, walk around the house walk around the block but walk! And pick up those pictures or call a friend or contact this forum. We do care what happens to YOU! Please for our sake take care of yourself. Bob

Wow Bob what a reality check. You brought tears to my eyes reading this. Not because you made me feel bad but because your right. I have come way to far to turn back now. Thank you so much for inspiring me !!

Juanita,  If we are truly going to support each other like a extended family then we should act like it. We need to be honest, sincere and adapt the true meaning of Agape which is a unconditional love, support and uplifting. It's not always easy, it's not always sweet but it's always real support with compassion. I know you will help me stay on the right path even if you have to kick my butt. Don't let the temporary waves of emotion take control. Thanks for being my friend. C' Ya Bob
