sorry i've been so slow in responding and updating...i will make a vid real soon. but to answer your question...i am doing very well and have lost a total of 90 pounds! i don't use food anymore as a way of dealing with my issues....i use exercise....i guess that is a better alternative...plus it makes me feel better than a bag of cookies!! LOL!!! thanks for inquiring....karla

I had my surgery on the 29th of October and all this week I have been doubling up with my exercise and feeling guilty about my food intake. I understand where you are coming from and as a woman feel like I am rushing my progress and demanding more of myself for vanity purposes. But you are right. I have been so focused on food and for so long...now what? Maybe now we focus on health, beauty (internal and external), and wholeness with a side of contentment.

I am glad to know that I am not alone....I remember the director of the Bariatric dept where I had my surgery saying that obesity is a disease of isolation....it is so important that we all continue to communicate and be as honest as we can with one another...you never know who you may be helping. Thanks for your comments....today..I've decided to enjoy this process and not rush through it....Bless you!!

I appreciate your videos tramendously. I was wondering how did you lose the pre-surgery weight, that is if you were even required to do so?

thank you...i woke up this morning with this simple little song in my spirit....it just said,'I had a long talk with Jesus and everythings gonna be alright'. It made me feel better...I don't know if its an actual song or if it was just given to me....nevertheless....i believe it.

i suspected that was the word of God. i have two Bibles on my coffee table. i'll watch for you.

I appreciate the fact that you can relate to what I was referencing. Interesting that you noticed the book behind me...its my bible...most of the answers to what i question in the vid are best found there...but sometimes i need a human touch...perspective...and shared experience...
