Apology

Good morning ladies and gents!!!

I need to start this morning by first apologizing to Julie.. I joined the group and then disappeared and for that I am so sorry. Not only did I close down my group and suggest everyone join your's, but I disappeared on you and feel so bad about it. I'm truly sorry Julie. I had so much going on in my life, (the bulging disc in my back, my severe leg pain due to the bulging disc, the blood clot in my leg, my mental health... thought I was going to break down finding a new mental health professional to monitor my meds "bipolar", the fear of losing my job) that the last thing I could possible think about was losing weight. Or so I thought. I should have been here. This group is my support, as I don't really get any at home.....My folks whom I currently live with think it's easy to just "lose weight". I wish they'd get off their soap box and realize that my weight issues have absolutely nothing to do with the food I put in my mouth.

So with that being said.. today I am back, day 1. I'm not saying that any of the above is fixed as the only thing that has changed is I found a mental health professional that I truly love.... I don't recommend docs to anyone, but this man, I'd recommend to my best friend, and I am in a job I enjoy.

I am going to work on 5 day streaks at a time. I also have a call into a bariatric dr. to see about a revision from VSG to RNY. I need this weight off of me. It's literally starting to kill me slowly. I have no health conditions now as a result of my weight, but my joints, my knees, my back, my self-esteem, my self-worth are all suffering as well as my life in general.

So, please ladies and gents, I am asking, PLEASE hold me accountable for making these changes.

Love,
Cari

Welcome back Cari!!!!!!! We're here for you. We all understand that our weight issues have nothing to do with the food and most definitely NOT our willpower. That's the thing I love this group......we all understand each other's struggles. There's just such a feeling when you know you're not alone. Again, welcome back.

Hey Cari! Please don't apologize, we all have things in life that prevent us being here, I go MIA too, we are a group of many who post, then don't or have never posted at all. I just figure people will join in when they feel like it. I know some people don't post when they are not doing well.

You are doing what is right for your health.. that is all that matters.. that is where I am focused.. YOU have the power to turn this around.. you do.. and we will be here.
