Amen Sister-Friend!

Congrats on all your successes. I identify with so much of what you are

saying. I, too, am in a stage, and have been for months, where I am

trashing everything and anything in my life that isn't necessary. God,

it's so awesome. Just last night I was doing dishes and this once dish

fell off the drying rack into the sink. I turned to my roommate and

said, " I've always hated these bowls. This one and the rest of the set

are goners. " I did the bastketball shot to the trash can for four

bowls. I do believe that is 8 points!

Congrats to you Lynn!

Amen, Sistah! You're doing great! Try not to let the worries creep in.

Successful now/Lurking fear!

Hi!

I felt the need to check in after an online absence of several months, due

to various things, like vacation, work, laziness... I suppose I need to

share and be part of the community again becuase now, after just over 6

months since my surgery, I do feel the need for some support and stuff I

can't even name. You folks all know what its like, so it saves a lot of time

to emote here.

I'm thrilled as can be about my weight loss. I don't actually weigh myself

because I know that when a plateau hits, I'd be a basket case...really tense

and pissed off! So I am weighed when I visit the Doc's and am blissfully

unaware of the plateaus that I have encountered. I know that if I keep doing

what I am supposed to be doing, eventually everything will work out. So far,

that theory has kept me in good stead. I have gone from a soft, sedentary

size 32 to a strong, muscular 20-22! Tonight I looked at myself in a full

length mirror for the first time in months and was kind of taken with what I

saw.

I've worked hard, exercised almost daily, biking, swimming, jogging, circuit

training and kayaking. I love my muscles and the feeling of agility I now

have. It even feels different swimming.

So what happens now? Well, I find that I don't get as uncomfortable as

quickly when eating. That makes me nervous and reinforces the need to " get

right " with food during this honeymoon period. Having failed soooooo many

times before at permanent weight loss, I have a lurking fear that I will

screw this up too.

It feel so good to have a choice of clothing now, to know I look good, TO BE

RID OF CPAP, to feel great exercising...all the things that have come my way

since December; it's like its too good to be true. Can I get an Amen?

Be well

It is the fear that we all have I guess, that could have kept us from

doing the surgery in the first place. I am scheduled for 7/24/01 and

still this fear lurks freely in the crevices of my mind.

It is so nice to have a place where saying it doesn't make it so!

You guys are all the best!
