i see Kara was here... must be old home week.

i'm a failure.
i've gained 40 pounds since OCTOBER.

Bagel was put down in September
we got a new newf (Harley) in October
he's a hot mess and takes a lot of my time as he's MY DOG (by his choice) and hence will only go out for me or with me. he will only walk on a leash for me or with me. it's hard...

I realized I love good food but just TOO MUCH OF IT...

I'm always hungry.... probably feeding a hungry heart.

I've got an appointment for both DH and myself to do an intro to weight loss surgery seminar in March. he needs and wants Gastric Bypass. I am considering Lap Band....

i'm going to the gym a lousey once a week for gentle yoga... I am too stiff for anything else. should go back to swimming soon.

come find me on facebook...

Hi Nessa Nice to see you everywhere! Even though I see you on facebook I miss you here. Not a lot of people can call it the way it is and still make me laugh

I spotted you yesterday in here and meant to say a big HELLO!.
Welcome back and I definitely can relate to the weight gain.

Hi, Nessa!

It's good to hear from you, you've been missed around here. It looks like you have quite a bit going on in your life, and I hope it all works out for the best. Take care, and come back to visit often!

We have missed you here, Nessa! I can relate. My life has been chaos over the last year and I've gone from 139 up to 170. At lost is from not exercising.

Come visit us when you can.

I'll be at Green Dragon on the 27th!

We talked about you a few weeks ago!
Wondering where you went!
Been missing you! I think failure is to tough a word. Try relapsed! But the great thing is that you can start fresh today! Hugs

Hello my dear! Glad to see you've shown your face. We're proud of where you have come from and we cheer you on as you take on this challenge. Hang in there. You know we love you!

Nessa! It's just not as fun around here without you.

Please keep us updated on the WLS stuff. We're here cheering you on!

Hi Nessa, good to see you, I will have to hook up with you via facebook. Take care, sending you a big hug.

Nessa, is The Green Dragon open yet? I know they usually close down for the winter months. I'll have to check!

some of the outside shops do and they are not open AS LATE in January and February (only till 8) but yeah as far as I know (and according to the website) they are open year round...

I don't think failure is the right word either sweets! We all have bad times... I too have gained a LOT of weight in a short period of time! But, its back on the wagon here and just looking forward! Keep us updated on the WLS stuff! Hope you keep hangin around here! Sounds like you have your hands full with the pup!

Miss you, Nessa!

Hope you are looking into ways to convince/train Harley to respond to others. It's WAY too much stress (as I'm sure you know) for you to be the only one to care for him. How will you ever get a vacation?

You've read Geneen Roth? Thought of her when I read the "hungry heart" line of your post. Yup, eating our feelings (or trying to stuff our feelings down with food) is a common issue. It's hard to overcome, but not impossible.

Take care of yourself, hon. You're a wonderful person and deserve the best.

Hi Nessa! Hang in there and be sure to keep us posted
