Hi everyone, I just have to say thank you to everyone for the overwhelming support, encouragement, words of wisdom, and tough love I was show after my last post on Monday night: " I confess that I suck"

I had such an outpouring of support that I couldn't even believe how many people took the time to stop and encourage me, to drag me from the depths of my pity party mindset. I even had people check in with me via message just to see how I was doing. Unbelievable, and very moving. I am very grateful for all of you and happy to be part of this "community".

I am thrilled to report that yesterday, I had a flawless, cheat free day. I saw my surgeon for preop, they said I'm doing great and everything is good to go for my surgery on Tuesday, August 12th. And I have lost 12.8 pounds since starting my liquid diet 5 days ago!

Reading everyone's responses really helped change my mindset toward success. No more negative thought, its eye on the prize! I am confident I will not slip up again.

You are all truly wonderful.

Kelly

Glad to hear you are pulling yourself out of the muck! This is a scary time and everyone , me included, goes through this to some degree. I did not see your original post but I will have to admit the title of your topic had me going in an entirely different direction!
