I know how discouraging it can be to try and try and not lose anything, been
there for a very long time. I have just had my first fill and hope it works
for me. I lectured for Weight Watchers for years and saw lots of discouraged
people including myself. I know about the $$$ too, my insurance paid NOTHING
on my surgery, so had to come up with all of it myself, but my husband is
behind me and we did it. Just take one day at a time, even one hour at a
time, I know that sounds hype but it works, and another thing that helps is
to write down everything you eat even if no one else ever sees it, it helps.
Don't give up, I just started and I need everyone and have been fighting
this for over 45 years, up and down, so you are not alone. Take care, Linda
