I just joined this forum tonight and although I'm excited about being part of a support network - I do have to admit I feel a little scared about trying to diet again after having a gastric bypass in 2001. I had lost all of my weight and was keeping it off until around October of 2008 at which point I went on a couple of anti anxiety meds for depression and put on a whopping I think it may be up to 70 pounds now. I'm not exactly sure right now because the last time I weighed myself was about around this time last year, and since then I have been afraid to get on the scale. But one thing is for sure is none of my cloths fit anymore. I'm hoping that I can be motivated enough to just do my healthy eating thing and be satisfied with regaining the use of some of my clothes as a reward instead of having to take that first terrifying step onto the scale. Well we'll see. I hope to get some pics up tomorrow and finish my profile. Bye for now.
