I was just looking around and saw your blog.....I know the drama in dealing with the insurance companies, I had Gastric Bypass a little over 3 years ago and they did the same thing to me...Anway, I was successful and am so glad I did it....it may be risky and some will even say its the easy way out (which its NOT) but it was the best thing I ever did for myself, it saved my life....anyway, now I wanna take off another 50 just because Im getting married in sept and wanna make sure im slim as can be. The weightloss slows dramatically after a while, so I've really gotta focus to make it happen (which is fine, just waiting for the holidays to be over) lol anyway, just wanted to offer my support and let ya know im here if you ever wanna chat....take care and ill talk to you soon Josie<br>(soon2bmrsholdren@aol.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565536527735548627.post-37166122135574203282005-12-29T11:51:00.000-08:002005-12-29T11:51:00.000-08:00Hi Julie,I just read your entry and I was compelle...Hi Julie,<br>I just read your entry and I was compelled to share a bit of my experience. I am a 34 year old divorced mother of two daughters and I'm here to tell ya, it's been no fantastic voyage for me either. I have been on the bandwagon to weight loss ever since my first child in 1992. I was at my heaviest of 272 lbs. and I only lost the baby weight (the baby herself) including the water weight that came with it after her birth. After the next 6 years of yo-yo dieting, I only managed to get down to 232 lbs. and that's when I decided to try something new. I tried the TAE-BO and prayed to GOD to show me if it would work for me. Needless to say it did. I went from 232 to 200 lbs. and was doing great until I let a new man in my life who eventually became my husband after the birth of my second child in 2000. Due to my self esteem being lowered by his avoiding me in every way possible and all the mental abuse I endured from him and his family, my marriage ended in divorced and my not being able to focus anymore on getting my weight down. It took me some time to pick myself back up completely from that and now I am back on my venture to the body I want. I learned something from it though. "There is no greater power on earth than the power that GOD has already placed inside us even from the foundations of the earth". In other words, I have always had the power to succeed in whatever I set my mind to do and I will never let anyone or anything tell me I can't or get in the way of my succeeding ever again! Girlfriend remember this! "It will work if you work it"! I thought about the bypass surgery too but to my dismay I had to be 100 lbs over weight and I'm not. I guess its not meant for me so my voyage continues until I get it right and I will with the LORD my GOD leading the way. My suggestion to you would be to look to GOD for salvation, for healing, and for your dAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565536527735548627.post-16637823324439701942005-12-29T11:52:00.000-08:002005-12-29T11:52:00.000-08:00Hi Julie,I just read your entry and I was compelle...Hi Julie,<br>I just read your entry and I was compelled to share a bit of my experience.
