Welcome Back Amber!

Of course we remember you. I was told before I had my DS that I would

find out real fast who needed me to be fat. That person was right

on. It sounds like you have had the same problem. You wont find any

of that here. Just acceptance and encouragement.

When you are up to it we want to hear all about your successes!

as strange as it is the friends who made me feel this way never knew me

heavy

I have always been a very shy person before the ds after the ds I became

very open and exited to make new friends I just didn't use good judgment.

and when my feelings got hurt I took it to heart instead of placing the

blame where it belonged I internalized it and with drew from everyone ( I

also did a very bad thing and let me say this again a very bad thing I went

of my Prozac) buy doing this I stopped putting me and my health first. which

I will never do again I know I have to take this medicine for life and not

taking it was my way of self punishment this is one of the things I have had

to work on before and after the ds the idea that I don't deserve the best I

have to give my self

we live and learn and hopefully for the better

thank you for listening Amber

You need to take good cre of yourself before you can take care of

others. You do deserve the best, and deserve to be the best you can

be.

You are living and learning. Just remember, you are worth it all and

more.

Hi Amber!

I'm doing well. Working on getting back to my low of 176 (which I

was at for about 5 minutes!). I'm at 179 now. It's been a tough

road. The hardest part is keeping it off. I would still like to

get to 163 but that's a goal for the far future. Great to hear from

you!

Hugs!

I have gained about 20lbs in the last 8 months or so mostly due to not

exercising and not making good overall choices but I am changing that now

***************************

It happens Amber,

If misery loves company, I am right there with you. I too need to

get off my dead a#$ and start walking again. And I have started to

make better choices.

I too am trying to go back to the basics. I am just naturally lazy

I guess. And full of excuses....like working 6 days a week...etc

etc etc.

We know what we need to do, lets just make a decision and do it.

Happy Valentines Day!
