Support from within...

May 20, 2010

I have set up my own home gym with a barrowed multi-functional treadmill and stationary bike. I know that exercise is essential to my success, so I have to make it convenient to my schedule.  I am finding that even though I have the support of my partner, due to his lack of the same weight/food issues, his understanding is somewhat limited. The Marysville Support Group is great, but the lack of participation is frustrating to those of us who depend on it so much. My attempts to gain interest from other bariatric patients that I know has been great, but that is about as far as it goes. The interest does not seem to be enough to drive participation.  This feels like a lonely ride sometimes. So I continue to try and pull as much support as I can from within myself. It is a ride that I want to share with the world, but few understand the array of feelings involved.  Looking forward to support group again the first Thursday of June.
