I am so sure you will hit the 100 lbs mark soon! You are kicking ass! Our personal lives definitely take a beating during this journey as well. It is impossible to keep the two separate. You know we are all here for you; never hesitate to reach out.
I totally understand what you're going through. The emotional part is the most challenging part of this journey. My family thinks I'm addicted to youtube but it's just nice to listen and talk to other people that get it. We are all here for you!! You have done such a great job on your journey so just remember that.
First CONGRATS on the loss and even though you might not have been able to meet this goal, a year ago you probably never thought you would have lost what you have, which is GREAT! I can pretty much read between the lines and I am sorry, you are in my thoughts and prayers! You never know what the next day will bring but just keep taking care of you!
Oh James i totally understand how you feel this journey is a crazy rollercoaster! Just know that we are here for you if you ever need to vent, i sure have my days, but hope everything gets better!!! *hugs xoxo
I've really missed you!!! Hang in there my friend! Life happens. Just remember that belt NSV and how far you have come! It's SOOO completely a mental journey. Find some people you can talk to...a bariatric support group or something! We are here for you and love you just as you are! Hugs, Katie
I agree planning and tracking take a lot of effort. Lift your butt up, get back on the horse and kick it in the guts. I've been in the same place emotionally lately and am just now getting back into my groove. Don't be too hard on yourself. cheers.
James you are a WLS rockstar. I just got caught up on your story and you are an inspiration. I am sorry life is crazy for you right now. Just remember He is the one who gives us strength. I will be praying for you.
We love you James and amongst all of us, you know people who have been through everything. NEVER hesitate to reach out to any of us if you need to vent. Keep moving forward, great losses, stay focused, yadda yadda yadda, but most of all LOVE YOU the most!
This Journey is Mentally Much Harder than They Ever Tell You !!!!!!!! You have Done Soooo Great and I'm Truly Sorry that Things are Tough for You in Your Personal Life, I will Keep You in My Prayers and Know that You Can Do This XOXOX Cynthie :) !!!!!!!!!!!
97lbs in 4 months is unreal. Sorry you are having a hard time in your personal life. I am a good listener if you ever need to chat. I think we are all here for you!
97 pounds in 4 months, woo hoo that's amazing. You absolutely shouldn't worry about not hitting the 100 pound mark with a result like that. Well done :) I know its hard to stay on track when things are crazy, but try and stay focussed, it will help you get through these tough times by giving you something positive to think about.
James sorry to hear you experiencing some situations in your life. I found it helpful to talk with friends to find answers to the things I was going through. Being with those of like mind is so helpfully just to talk. Personal lives change so much along the way, sometimes we have to step back and regroup. It's a wild ride , sometimes not fun , we have to live for today my brotha. Stay focused it will pass, you will feel in control again over the food. One thing is for sure nothing stays the same. Hang in there friend ! Zen
In the beginning of our journey, we are told that this process is not easy and I don't think that we can even begin to truly understand how difficult it can be, not with just weight loss. but all the other factors at play in our day to day lives. We have to be patient with ourselves and others so that we can work through any changes we are going through. It is a process that requires time. Thinking about you...and wishing you well. Wanda
OMG JAMES YOU ARE DOING WONDERFUL. THAT IS A BIG LOSS. YOU LOOK GREAT. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP CAUSE YOUR ONLY 3LBS FROM AWAY FROM A 100LB LOSS

Oh my sweet James. I'm sorry things are rough right now but I agree with Lacey and feel that you have to continue to put yourself first. Sometimes those in our life have a harder time with the changes then we do. Hang in there and stay strong. Whatever choices you have to make will be for the best in the long run. #goteamRNY
