Shelle, welcome! And here is a newbee secret: you now have hundred's of "buddies" to help you along the path to better health! That I promise! Get down? Read thru the journals here. Need a hand with any problem? Even those that have no method of being "communicated" like when you just feel bleeech? Well, many, many people who have traveled the same path as you will be happy to give you any wisdom gained along the path to better health!
Here is a neat thing to keep in the back of your head for tough times: find a couple of two or three folx (male or female) who have about the same amount of weight to lose as you and have managed to get most of it off! I can think of 7 that I emulate...most are female...but all have a journal with the secrets to their success buried deep inside. Hell, they may not even know the "real" information I gain from reading their journal (or you, mine!)...but often a bad day can be diverted by a kind smile or an understanding that others have done the same exact thing with the same exact feelings and I can READ how they made it thru.
You know, there are thousands of folx on these boards who will tell you to read the books! I am one of them! BUT I have read the books repeatedly and I gain far more about how to cope with feelings and attitudes and "bleeech" by being in here with REAL people who share their feelings. And their wisdom. And their knowledge. AND their friendship!
2 quick notes in passing:
1) In accepting the FACT that I AM morbidly obese...I understood I had far too many pounds and too few friends. Every single week that passes now finds me with fewer pounds and more friends. Not bad for a diet, huh?
2) This way of life and way of eating work great! BUT only if you work them! There is NO magic pill even if you will pay $153 a month for it! (saw that on TV this morning!)
Hope your day is blessed and your heart happy!
PS...read the book!
