I saw the surgeon and when I was weighed I had only lost 18lbs since my 3 month visit...I told the dr that I was disappointed in myself and he spent the 20 minutes that followed explaining how I was NOT the be. He was very encouraging saying "yes you had a tough 3 months" (I had not lost a lbs since mom died) "but you have lost 77lbs since February which is 50% of the weight you had to lose. Right on target!" He was cute, I never had a dr be so nice to me. His and his staff's kindness toward me (they had a support group that same night and I got to talk about my difficulties) really got me back on the ball. I'm writing my food down and have been to the gym every day this week.

That's wonderful!! It's so nice to hear that there are still some very dedicated doctors and staff out there.
You can do it, Angela...You Go!!! Your mom is cheering you on, believe me.

Just remember the excitement that you had about Salsa Dancing and the size 14 jeans that you got into. There is still lots to be excited about. Just get back in the saddle and you will be fine.

Don't you dare be dissappointed!! I'm excited for you. Fourteen size jeans, salsa, wall climbing, diving, at the gym, and a hundred other things that you do that we don't even know about. Over a 100 lbs that you will not be getting back, and toned baby!!! I'm glad you have a doctor and his staff, who are good to you and put your concerns at the forefront. Four huge bags of dog food off your back, thighs, sides, boobs, legs and feet. Yes, the journaling is a good thing. I get off it for a while, bet eventually go back to it because I worry about old habits creeping back in. I think you are amazing. You are NOT that far out and your tool is there to serve you for many, many days to come. You aren't done losing weight! It will come off! Think about all of the people you have inspired in your family and here on this board. Oh, and you can be dissappointed if you want, but I'm not dissappointed for you or about you.

OMG disappointed???? girlie your nuts, your doing fantastic..plus don't forget WL does slow down when your as skinny as you are missy!!!! You've done an amazing job, and what ever you do, do NOT let it get you down. POSITIVE POSITIVE POSITIVE THINKING !!!!! SALSA DANCING SALSA DANCING !!!!
