I've been considering weight loss surgery for years. But something always holds me back. I really feel that it's not just the weight loss that I need, I know it's the journey that i need most. The changes within me that take place while I make changes happen on the outside, I know it's important. So, here I am... trying again. I'm surprised I haven't found this site before as I'm always looking and looking for support and answers.
I'm happy to be here and look forward to browsing around. So, hello all!
I'm Nicole - a mother first, a photographer second, a friend and daughter and last, a wife. I'm currently separated from my husband and have been for 10 months. It's been a tough, but necessary year. I don't know if there is a future together for my husband and I, but either way, I know we've gone through the hard bits and have grown immensely and we'll always be good to each other and put our children first, between he and I.
What I am doing different, though, is putting myself higher up on the list. What use am I to others, if I'm not taken care of too, right?
So, there's my intro! Look forward to getting to know people and form friendships.
 
Welcome to the site. Support is something you will definately get from this site. There is A LOT of good info in the sticky threads. Make sure you read them first. Develop a plan that will work and teach you your new lifestyle and stay motivated.

I also turned away from the surgery. When my Doctor offered it to me, i used that as a motivator and never looked back. I can tell you one thing, all the hard work you put in will be so worth it.

Start a diary so we can check in and keep tabs on how you are doing. How much would you like to lose?

Good luck!!!

Wow Matt...

I have to say, you coming back to check on me was a surprise and it brought of smile to my face on a quiet, lonely night. Thank you :)

I'm well! Weight loss efforts, not so much, but the within part - is being worked on - and with that all others shall fall into place with my continued work and effort :)

Thanks and I hope you are well too?
 
Hey!!!! I'mmmmm Baaaacckkk!!!

I can sometimes be like that lonely sock, just keep showing up. (not in a bad way) just want to give you some encouragement. I know what you are going through. You so want to do this but it is hard.

Well here is the deal, find enough motivation to just get startred. Once you get started then you can develop some good habits and make the needed changes. Yes, it is hard but it is so worth it. The feeling when you start seeing that scale go down is great.

Have you read through the sticky threads? How about starting a diary and letting us know what's going on. It can be time consuming but, like i said, it is so worth it.
