I went to F2F meetings for 20+ years. I just know that I'm not ready to discuss WLS with the group, and I can't go and not be honest about having had surgery. One of my best RL friends is from OA - it was so hard to tell her about surgery! I'll be sure to let you know if I go back. I would love to start a meeting for WLS folks, but not sure I can find enough people interested around here.

Hugs to you!!

:) Happy

Whenever you are ready to part with clothes I wear 14/16 bottoms and M/L shirts depending.

Yeah I've been in an ongoing process to declutter my house and so far so good =)

I had this moment a few months ago and i felt my stuff was consuming me and holding me back. my closets were the main thing and my kitchen. i made a list of friends who were the size i used to be and made care parcels of clothes for them and i had one friend who was moving into her own place after a break-up and i gave her my kitchen stuff. it helped me feel i was of service, my stuff was helping others and it got it out of my life. I loved doing it and don't know why it took me so long to find a way. Good luck. Oh this week out of the blue the hunger monster is back. I just hope it's a visit and he's on his way out because it makes me want to explode. I feel powerless which is not a place i like to reside. Yeah this too needs to pass.

Hi edelu

Wow that is soooo great to hear your story how you gave your clothes in care parcels and get rid of your kitchen stuff. and yes to hear you how it helped you feel that you were is service...
"YES YES YES!! Ok Ok I can do this too! Oh gosh thank you. This so gives me hope and motivates me! give me a little lingo of language and i totally hear you. wow i thank you for your support. I so relate to the monster.... STOP, pray, make outreach calls or out reach posts and get out of my head helps me. its not easy... but i want my monster to go away too. nights are the hardest... and my one moment at a time, i am not going to give in right now... maybe tomorrow but not right now.... :) right? I will put it off.... I also dislike feeling powerless. I so can relate. I can identify with the feeling, because i have been feeling it alot lately.

yes .... we keep thinking, " This too shall pass!" thanks for the reminder!

Hi Doc! Just wanted to let you know what an inspiration you have been. I love your posts and have even taken down your green smoothies recipes and hope to try kale chips next! I am ten weeks out and hope to be as successful as you! Now for the clutter.....my rule is that if you haven't used it or worn it in the last six months donate it, sell it, or throw it out! Decluttering is a great and I feel so much better when I purge. Of course, I have two little ones and the toys alone drive me nuts! Don't be so down! You're fabulous!
