This is for the down trodden

Loneliness,   Have you ever heard that old adage "I feel lonely even in a crowd."  As unfavorable as it may sound many of us experience this brutal feeling...

  Even though we surround ourselves with people that have had WLS and share many similarities of our experiences we feel inadequate and incompetent. Sometimes those moments seem worse when someone else appears to be sailing through their WLS journey with a high degree of ease and success...  Their pounds are melting off while you struggle and fight for every single smidgen of an iota that you can get the scale to move.  They are head of the elite losers club and you feel excluded. 

  If anything I want you to take away from this would be that you are undertaking a major lifestyle change.  This includes your lifestyle of (saying no to that piece of birthday cake at your favorite nieces birthday party) (saying no to the deep fried tortillas that they serve complimentary at the favorite Mexican food restaurant where all the best buds meet for a girls night out whi*****ludes margaritas and cosmopolitans).  You know what?  By saying NO you are changing your lifestyle, changing your patterns or the way you've always done it, that made you feel good and gave you comfort, now you are stepping out side of your comfort zone.  Yikes that is a lonely place to be...... 

  You are starting a new life!!!  Remember how it feels to start a new school or the first day on a new job... You feel very isolated....Even though you are surrounded by lots of people you are very lonely....  For some people, this loneliness thing is a new experience and very disturbing, for the rest of us it is an all too familiar feeling.  Now we get to throw disappointment in to the mix.  Awe, Loneliness and Disappointment....what a combination....  We are going to work on purging those two items from our new lifestyle...  They do not have any more room here than does the cake or the chips....  

  The constant dripping of water wears away a stone......  

  You all are in my thoughts today and everyday.......(Group Hug)

Hi Ms. Marie.....       Do you know how much I love you.....   There is not even a numeric system that could start identifying the values....... 

    Can't wait till we have girls night out after a night of bootcamp....LOL...  We are so gonna rock our worlds.....  Just wait till ms. Trina shows you how to do it sugar free and guilt free......  

  Okay, so I am full of BS....  Ms. Debbie and Bob #1 can vouch for me...   But we are gonna go for it....   Okay so we are gonna have Ms. Tawnya join us after her dancing with the stars lessons just for validation purposes..... LOL.. We love her company anyway rather if she is getting skinny er than us or not....And we won't hold it against her that she is from Kansas....LOL...   Did anyone happen to mention that Candice Parker Rocks......No I don't think I heard that so I will speak up for Tenn........  We rock and so does Marie......
