i give up! stupid surgery

Sounds like you're having a rough day. Frustration can be a real hard pill to swallow. Some days we just have to learn to be a little patient with ourselves and please try not comparing yourself with others. I did that to my great sorrow. I used to go to meetings after a month and couldn't even recognized some of the people, but everyone knew who I was, the biggest one in the room! I too lost at a very slow rate the most I ever lost was 14 lbs in one month. I was told over and over again by my doctor that the slow weight loss would benefit me in the long run and it did. I feel successful at this point in my life. I have lost over 168 lbs in over the past 6 years. I have never reached what is considered goal weight and I am fine with that. I measure my success by how content I feel, not by the weight loss of others. I have, over the years, learned that I am me and beautiful and special. Of course I still am battling the bluge but that's my life. My journey continues as yours does. Give yourself a break and enjoy the ride of your life. I wish you the world of success. The TOOL works!

Suggestion only: Try setting a reasonable goal that can be reached. Don't forget to celebrate all you have accomplished so far. You are addressing one of the most painful issues yet, the need to take control of your health through weight control. Stay with the basics and the rest will follow. Us food addicts are impatient, but with endurance you can win! Hay don't forget to have some fun, get your nails done, get a massage, go out dancing, buy a joke book, Do Something Fun!

I would like to loss another 30 lbs. I have set a goal of losing, within this month, 3-6 lbs. So far 2 lbs down, another 5 lbs if possible.
